Dave Stewart is definitely a reason, various styles, all good. His work on BPRD is very good too, moody but never overbearingly dark which I would imagine to happen pretty quick with a series like that.

I'm actually learning something from this column this week! Really enjoyable thus far.

Didn't Dave Stewart color Jae Lee's Inhumans art? That was some gorgeous work.

From which comic did that Seth Fisher Doom Patrol came from? I never knew he had drawn the team!
Hunter (Pedro BouÃ§a)

Fisher filled in for Tan Eng Huat on issues 13 and 14 of Doom Patrol, volume 3, which ran from 2001 to 2003. John Arcudi wrote the whole shebang.

If Lynn Varley and Tatjana Wood don't get included as reasons to love comics then there's no justice!

Yeah, Stewart's totally awesome. I always notice a book with his name in the credits.

Stewart is a genius. He's one of the few colorists whose name I notice in the credits, primarily because you can't help but notice it when he does such beautiful, beautiful work. He's making so much great art even greater at the moment.

That last pic of Batman reminds me of Pepe Moreno's Digital Justice Batman

Yeah I was particularly blown away by the art in the current Batman story myself. The rest of the characters aren't just done in a classic style. The Man of Bats is in four color, really classic style, the Austrinaut guy is done in a bit of a pulp style and Flying man or v-guy whatever, is (I think) in a bit of a super-gritty Frank Miller style. Not only that, but when Batman enters the scene the picture changes and all the other characters become a bit more like Batman. Batman, visually, owns the room.

If Stewart has even a hand in that, then yeah he is a reason to love comics.

as great as he is...Moose (the guy who has been coloring everything Green Lantern for 5 or years) is my favorite...they man makes his colors look so good that he no longer seems to be just a colorer... he is on the same level of the artist.He makes you notice the colors.

And I loved his work with Annie Lennox!

Hah! That joke never gets old!

Seriously though, Stewart's an amazing colorist. Good choice for today's spotlight.

He did the Conan coloring? That's some beautiful work.

His work with Cary Nord on Conan was a total revelation for me. Click for a quick sample.

I had never heard of him before, but I dig the sepia-tinged look to his work. Looks very classic and vintage. On the New Frontiers davestewart8.jpg, I love how he rotates through his color palette, picking up colors from the background and moving them to the foreground in the next panel, and vice versa. Cool stuff.
