USA Comic Book Style (Fan) Art

Post Reply New Topic

Regardless of what you feel about the American comic book industry, there is no denying the impact it has made on pop culture. Superhero comics have introduced us to unique character archetypes, memorable storylines, and popular art styles. In light of that last comment, post (links to) non-comic characters that have been restylized to look like comic characters.

RADIOACTIVE MAN (The Simpsons)

Roy Lichtenstein's pop art

Roy Lichtenstein was a thief. He blatantly copied many great comic book artists, often poorly.

But in the 60's, 70's and 80's people who wanted to do comics drew in these styles:
Frazetta
Neal Adams
Bernie Wrightson
Barry Windsor Smith
Jack Kirby
John Byrne
Jim Lee
Rob Liefeld
Todd McFarlane

This would be a partial list

Samurai Jack

Akira

Lupin III

posters about classic literature made in the styles of various comic book artists

Teen Titans (animated series version, re-imagined as comic book characters...again)

Mega Man X

Futurama

Super Smash Bros.

the 11th Doctor and the 12th Doctor from Doctor Who

Here are some official re-stylizations:

Here's Hanna-Barbera Beyond (DC's take on Hanna-Barbera characters).

A bunch of characters from newspaper comic strips made cameos in an issue of Marvel's Fantastic Four.

I found this image of the 2015 version of Archie Andrews.

Tintin, Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus appeared in an issue of DC's Teen Titans.

Tintin also showed up in an issue of Marvel's Fantastic Four.

Lastly, here are both DC's and Marvel's takes on Popeye.

wow, that guy with the deconstructing roy lichtenstein website didn't get the point of what lichtenstein was doing....
next thing someone complains that warhol didn't take the pictures of monroe and mao himself, or that duchamp didn't form his fountain.
and I gues that then goes for you, too zkydz. Lichtenstein's art was not his originality, but exactly that he copied "cheap" graphics, that were not even his own creation.

HERE'S an all-animal remake of a comic book page about Thunderbolt from Charlton Comics.

Here's a link to some pop culture characters restyled to look like they're from a NSFW comic book: http://www.greg-guillemin.com

Kids from The Simpsons make cameos in The Immortal Hulk.

Some pages from the "Spider-Verse" storyline include characters from Akira, Ghost In The Shell & NGE.

Roy Lichtenstein tended to copy this " love comic " style of drawing that has been essentially totally gone from comic books for forty years - it tends to live on in.oarodies and " campy " nostalgia. Just like Carl Barks/Sheldon Mayer style " funny " art is not what people associate with comic books nowadays.
