It exaggerates the emotions, gives even mundane things a sinister edge. For such often slight tales it is a lot of effort. I don't know much about the production side of art, but it seems that it needs more work than the "clean" style. Which also strikes me as odd. The more you produce, the more you earn.<br /><br />But it shows the level of craft these artists possessed. I have my doubt if this would be avaiable today.andydeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01312309519462680892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-84128138587664716922019-08-26T12:17:04.717-07:002019-08-26T12:17:04.717-07:00No, I think you're right on the money, Andy.

There will be some artists as plain and safe as Jack Kamen (Eds Smalle and Goldfarb), as "ugly" as Jack Davis (Everett comes to mind), or as stylish and atmospheric as Ghastly (Colan), but that "ugly" style was clearly favored across all publishers in the 50s. The more I dig into these things the more I miss that style.Peter Enfantinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317575598411394944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-41141325781057054922019-08-26T10:24:27.025-07:002019-08-26T10:24:27.025-07:00When I see the art of those old Atlas or other hor...When I see the art of those old Atlas or other horror comics it always astonishes me how downright ugly (or realistic?) people are drawn. Compared to the clean-cut people in superhero comics. Is this really a typical stylistical trait for horror comics at the time or just a random observation?<br /><br />I quite like this approach. But if you compare it with later horror comics like the Warren mags or the DC line, it fell out of favour in the following years.andydeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01312309519462680892noreply@blogger.com
