Title: Rob Liefeld criticises his betters Post by: Permanus on October 12, 2007, 03:18:50 AM Here's a tangent from an interview with schlockmeister Rob Liefeld for the Orange County Weekly: http://blogs.ocweekly.com/navelgazing/ill-lyteracy/rob-liefeld-shoots-on-alan-moo/
Wow, the more Liefeld talks, the more vituperative he gets, going so far as to say that Alan Moore is a "ruthless businessman". Let's not forget that he's talking about the guy who hasn't taken any money from recent film versions of his work. I suppose I could say a thing or two about Rob Liefeld, but why bother when a picture is worth a thousand words? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Robliefeldpic.jpg)? Title: Re: Rob Liefeld criticises his betters Post by: Uncle Mxy on October 12, 2007, 07:25:21 AM Apart from "shrewd businessman" crack, I could see Alan Moore doing most of the stuff Liefeld speaks of. Alan Moore is definitely guilty of being Alan Moore.

I'm sure Alan Moore must be the most annoying man ever born sometimes; it's just that, if it were anyone else discussing it, I wouldn't mind so much, but it's Rob bloody Liefeld.

Title: Re: Rob Liefeld criticises his betters Post by: ShinDangaioh on October 14, 2007, 06:16:46 AM There was a website dedicated to Rob Leifeld and showed how he swiped stuff from other artists and used a lightbox for a lot of his stuff. (Well, there were other art thiefs, but he had close to 3/4 of the site to himself)
It's gone now, but it was very interesting and funny seeing just what Liefeld stole from. I think the most famous was for Re: Gex and it was a swipe of a Bubbegum Crisis promo picture.
