I am sure this has been discussed in some detail over the years.
After recently watching an iFanboy episode about Jim Lee, I was completely blown away. The man is a legend. And some of his Artwork is just amazing.
Female characters are always super sexy and the Male characters are always huge and muscular.
This is some images that I have collected from Google:
Jim Lee
Person » Jim Lee is credited in 1382 issues.
Jim Lee is a Korean-American artist and writer, who shot to fame with Marvel titles such as X-Men in the 90's. He created Wildstorm under Image Comics, which he later sold to DC Comics where he acted as Editorial Director. In 2010, he became Co-Publisher of DC Comics.
Jim Lee Artwork
I love his Catwoman.
He is more well-known for his X-men run. Wildcats was also another big project for him.
Basically anything this guy touches, sells really well. Most fans buy his stuff not for the story but for his art and his covers.
I don't only like him for his sexy artwork, he is an amazing artist. His work is what made me get back into comics.
I will upload some more of his stuff later.
He frustrates me so much, because I love his art work EXCEPT his Joker.
He does such great stuff with everyone else. And yes, The joker's eyes look perfect and scary. But the witchie-poo goblin nose and chin are just so ridiculous and Looney Toon looking. I dislike it in and of itself, but when you place Lee's Joker in with the other character that are drawn so magnificently, it really looks ridiculous. Lee's Joker looks more like he should be menacing Bugs Bunny in that world rather than Batman in Gotham
In the DCU online game, a lot of fans protested when they found out it would be based on Lee's art because of his version of The Joker. So when the game came out the "goblin from the movie Legend" look was toned down a bit. He still looks a bit pinched and stretched but not as bad. I am hoping he tones it down a bit more.
But it wouldn't bother me so much if I didn't love every other character he draws. Then he gets to my favorite character of all time from any media and draws him like a character in Poke-mon.
I always thought a young Peter O' Toole had the perfect facial structure for the Joker. He also performed crazy extremely well.
jim lee is my fav artist and has been for a long time. it goes beyond sexy women and muscles tho lol. i wanna get tha rest of his x-men #1 covers signed by him and have them framed together, side by side.
It is a shame that Jim Lee would rather play comic mogul than perfect his art on a timely monthly basis. Really wanted to see the end of All Star Batman and Robin. Ah well.
@kimeraevet: I am excite to see what he does with the DC Stuff. I love some of his new re-designs. His Batman looks good, Wonder Woman looks amazing. I dont like any of the Supers. Superman, Superboy and Supergirl.
I am a huge fan, I have his ICONS book. When you read through that book and see some of his pencils it is stunning. Sometimes the colour versions dont do it justice.
