Frank Quitely x Batman & Robin
Recently (two days ago) I finally received my tpb copy of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s 1996 largely ignored, but incredibly brilliant Flex Mentallo. It was a book I’ve read about for years here and there, either being championed as amazing or “I just didn’t get it”, and as a big fan of the Morrison/ Quitely duo, I finally I ordered a copy off Amazon.
I’ve grown up reading comics for as long as I can remember, and probably became serious about them when I was around 11 or so. Among all of the stories and scenes and panels that litter my head, there is one page that sits above them all.
Batman x Grendel
My dad used to have this comic when I was a youth and I would just stare at the cover. I never even opened it to read, I was just mesmerized by the minimalist approach used, especially during the early 90’s when everything in comics was super over the top and I had never seen anything like it up to that point in my life.
JLA #18
One of the great things about Morrison’s run on JLA was that every issue was written to be a summer blockbuster. Even though you know that basically the good guys always save the day in mainstream comics, I remember being a teenager and just thinking “well, how the fuck are they going to get out of this one?”. This Howard Porter cover totally had me hooked.
Spectacular Spiderman #101
For the record, any one who knows me knows I have a disdain for all things Marvel. That being said, this minimalist cover and use of negative space hits every creative button I love.
Detective Comics #648
Once again another Matt Wagner/ Batman cover that I’ve never even seen the inside of. I was obsessed with this cover as a kid and just recently re-ordered just to have it sit my room so I can stare at it as an adult. 
Amazing Spiderman #45
John Romita Jr is a comic book Gawd. This cover gave me a headache the first time I ever saw it just trying to wrap my head around not only what was happening but how he even thought of drawing it like this.
Meg Myers x Heart Heart Head
clearly I enjoy white women with haunting voices tbh
Jim Lee is hands down my all time favorite comic book artist, from X-Men to WildCATS to Batman to controlling the direction of the entire DC Universe. Kevin Smith sits down with the comic GAWD in a two part interview for his Fat Man On Batman blog. A def must listen for any fan. Bruce Timm and Alex Toth are the artists who have influenced most and motivate me to be a better artist, Jim Lee is the guy who makes me happy to just spend hours looking at his art.
