Everyone has an artist that they just love. Logic suggests that the reverse must also be true. An artist whose work simply drives you crazy. In comics you can be subjected to an artist you don't care for, for months even years at a time, simply because you like the subject/character of the comic. I am a long time reader/collector of Iron Man. There have been many issues over the years drawing and inked by artists that really rub me the wrong way, chief among them is...Don Heck. I'll add examples below and you can be the judge. ;D  www.povonline.com/Don%20Heck.htm |

I'm not going to spout off negativity aimed at the hard working artists who's work is indelibly etched in my childhood, but I will say this; if I meet Curt Swan in a dark alley, he's a dead man.  |

I never really had a problem with Swan but I know what you mean when you point out how nauseatingly boring he is.

Yeah, I could have takean him for a couple of years, but he stayed on Superman for 30 years. It wasn't until DC's 1987 reboot that Supes quit looking like a slightly overweight George Reeve.

Yeah, Rob Liefeld was the most popular bad artist I've ever seen.

Agreed. Liefeld's work never looked right to me, like a clumsy Jim Lee wannabe. Too bad he had anything to do with Avengers but since I'm an Avengers fan and collector I'm stuck with it.

Ugh. I agree with you all, that is pretty bad-looking. That cover gives me the creeps. Thor looks horrible, and everyone looks so stiff.
