I dunno T., I think the reasons you gave are the reason Brianâ€™s used Iron Man artists. It makes it much of a challenge to figure out the artists.

Bingo!

I thought the “Name that JJJ” contest was a better contest. It actually wasn’t as easy as one would think.

If he did, say, Name That X-Men Artist, the contest would be too easy. (Except for getting the Kuberts mixed up.)

There’s a big problem by constantly doing these contests with Iron Man:

1) Most of them are Iron Man in armor, the look doesn’t change that much from artist to artist. 2 slots for the eyes, one for the mouth, not a lot of opportunity for the artist’s individuality to shine through.

2) Seems like a lot of those were inked by Bob Layton. His inks are so overpowering that they submerge a lot of the original penciller anyway.
