  • Rad Artists: Howard Chaykin

    Howard Chaykin's art is pretty rad. Few people draw women in black stockings as well as he does and he did great things with The Shadow and Blackhawk revamps. Black Kiss is twisted and great and taboo busting and he's not afraid to push peoples' buttons.

      Yeah, he is a master of drawing sexy ladies in stockings. I was a big fan of American Flagg, Time² and his take on The Shadow back in the day.

        All good picks. Some of his Cody Starbuck stuff is fun too and his 70s DC stuff.

          I also liked his Power & Glory comics in the 90's. I picked up his Cyberella series for cheap as well as his Blade miniseries but have never gotten around to reading them. And I'm looking forward to reading Black Kiss 2 when it gets collected.

            I'm waiting on a collected Black Kiss 2 as well. Power & Glory was pretty twisted. I still have those kicking around somewhere.

            Malibu's Bravura line had some cool stuff before it went kaput.

                        The Marked Man serial Chaykin did for Dark Horse Presents has been collected and was released Tuesday.

                        Anyone check this out? Worth getting?

                          I'm pretty geeked on Altas Comics, and enjoyed his Scorpion character.

                            1) That last image of the vampire lady in post #11 is from Bite Club - I think Chaykin wrote that but that's a Frank Quitely drawing (anther rad artist who deserves his own thread).

                            2) I had one of the issues of DHP with a Marked Man story - don't remember anything about the story but do recall that the coloring was ugly. Had an almost airbrushed look which Chaykin uses but this seemed over the top.

                            3) Atlas comics are so great. It bums me out that there was only one issue of Demon Hunter as it is awesome.

                              Agreed, but in a way (for me) part of the fun of Atlas is that it is so finite.

                              I wish their relaunch did it for me.
