Gil Kane was one of the first artists I noticed growing up reading in the late 1970's and 1980's. My first exposure to his work was when he worked at DC Comics drawing Superman and Justice League. His dynamic perspective and anatomy and stylized line work are forever etched into my mind.
I also first learned to draw women (at the age of 10) by using carbon paper to trace over his lines. *From a story about the Justice League going to rescue the Atom who was a giant in a subatomic universe ala Liliput.
Thanks! It's great to hear a lot of thoughtful and enlightening responses! (and @Daredevil fans - sorry about the comparison to Batman...as an 'outsider' I couldn't distinguish any great differences between the two, but now I see and understand)
