    Massive muscle growth, thier heads seem to have expanded and changed shape, they all seem to have thier backs/shoulders covered (possibly hiding acne).

    All signs point to them not making the HoF.

    That's amazing.

    Well. Platt knew what he liked, and what the people seemed to want. I will give him that.

    I think if I were The Invisible Woman during this time period, I would have used my powers A LOT.
    It's exaggerated, but not atypical of what was going on in the 90's. Even great illustrators like Travis Charest have examples of published work that tend toward what's was attached.

    Thought it would be unfair of me to post the above image without posting something more recent.

    Some artists were aping the popular style at the time while others simply drew that way.

    Not to pick on Platt but he's also known for drawing women from the side and still showing their entire butt and both breasts.

    Time to ask a way back question. I bought a dexdrive for my PlayStation 1; now I am looking for a copy of dexter to run it anyone have it?

    For the record I bought it so that I won't have to take the stupid license tests on gran turismo 2

    Oh, I know. And there are some boxes in my parents attic with books I bought back then that looked these, I'm sure. Platt was certainly the norm for that time, not the exception.

    But, man, like seeing the early 1970s mustaches on Mad Men (or in family photo albums) there are some looks that have really not aged well.

    Great game. My oldest son ended up coming in second and took away $532 for the effort. I'm withholding payment until he cleans his room though.

    I was looking through old photos and found a picture of my uncles taken around 76. They all decided to grow mustaches for the bi-centennial.
    Looked like a porn star convention.

    It seems that as I have aged, I've developed a list of things that I just don't want/need anymore.
    On the list are things like, Sloppy Joe's, uncomfortable shoes, paintings/pictures of big eyed kids, etc. I am adding to that list Superman/Captain Marvel fights. And, by extension, Captain Marvel vs. any other hero fight.

    Just tired of them.

    Yep.
    Didn't even have to buy the book. Yahoo had the panels splashed all over their news feed.

    Saw Furious 7 today. These movies make no bones about what they are. They've pretty much entered super hero territory. But it was a lot of fun and had a fairly emotional ending

    Today, I discovered that Ox Tail is awesome! It's rich and beefy and silky in texture. Holy Moley what a great ingredient.
    I had around 6 lbs available for me to use. I did an Ox Tail stew and then modified the stew once to be served with Mashed Potatoes, and another time for Pappardelle.

    I picked it up. It was OK. I'll read the next one. Speed Force I did not enjoy so much. I miss Wally but I just didn't really care for him or his kids

    Stop me if you heard this one...a man and a woman get together and do a naughty thing. Nine months later the man's home office become a new bedroom and many of his comics need to go away in order to make space...

    Anyone know a good way to trade, sell, swap, get store credit for something like a thousand comics plus tpbs?

    I just had ox tail today, we always put it into a curry and have it with rice.

    I'm just finishing off Brian K. Vaughans run on Swamp Thing. It has far exceeded my expectations and you can really see the start of a great writer in these stories. The title of the last issue in his run... Saga.

    I love that.

    @luke52
    Nice ...

    I recently bought Saga Book One. I've loved Vaughan's work since Y. After 355 reveals her name to Yorick, my heart fell out. Great stuff (every good story is a love story...I learned that reading Shogun). I am currently collecting the floppies. My wife is finishing Saga Book One. It's the first time she hasn't critiqued a graphic novel during her reading.

    Okay this is where my comic knowledge shows its limitations but when they talk about breakdowns, does that mean an artist or writer gives a general outline of the story?

    Breakdowns/layouts are basically pencils without any blacks spotted. If an artist does full pencils, they will indicate lighting by shading in where the inks should be more than a simple outline. But in breakdowns, they're leaving that up to the inker, who in this case would be more specifically called the finisher.

    Now, that's not to say that breakdowns are mere sketches. Most breakdown artists are still drawing fairly tight—or at least tight enough—figures and background elements. The inker/finisher isn't having to make drawing decisions or storytelling decisions other than the lighting—everything else is there in the pencils. In fact, most breakdowns are tighter than what you would see in an artist’s pencils when they're inking themselves.
