Joe Staton has drawn so many wonderful comic books, and yet you rarely see him listed in top 10, top 50 or even top 100 list of top artists. I've always found this to be a bit odd, as while he may not be a Kirby or Ditko, he definitely had a distinctive look and [...]

Many people may not be very familiar with Pat Boyette's work, as he did not do much work for DC or Marvel. Others may not really know what to think of his style at first glance. It is unique to say the least. In the late 60s, when the funnybook world was shifting towards the [...]

Here's Scott's last UAS piece. His new column starts tomorrow! - BC
EDITED TO ADD: Due to some log-in snafus, Scott's first piece will be Wednesday, instead.

When I asked other classics fans which artists you'd like to see featured here - one name that popped up was Frank Thorne, and I couldn't agree more.

Here's Scott's next piece - BC.
I grew up with Ross Andru's work, as he was the principal penciller on Amazing Spider-Man when I was just a young lad. Of course, Andru had worked for a long time before that and would work for a long time afterwards.
It seems that Ross Andru rarely gets mentioned [...]

Here's another piece by Scott - BC
We are back with another edition of the Underappreciated Artist Spotlight. This time, let's focus on a man who might not be well known to those fans who do not venture outside of the capes and tights genre.

Here's Scott's next piece - BC.
Dan Spiegle rarely gets mentioned among the funnybook greats, but over recent years I've noticed a real trend towards a greater appreciation of what he brought to the 4 Color world.

I was invited to hop aboard the good ship CSBG to help everyone see the goodness in old funnybooks.
I thought a good way to get started is to post a week long series of Underappreciated Artist Spotlights. The purpose of these spotlights is to shine [...]
