He's the artist on the acclaimed Batman: Year One and Daredevil (although since this article is several years old, I'm sure that person has now familiarized himself with Mazzucchelli.). What about Alan Davis, Brian Bolland, Carmine Infantino, Norm Breyfogle, Dick Sprang, or Bruce Timm?? Also, I wouldn't include Bob Kane as one of the great Batman artists. His work was simply okay, sometimes crude. I understand you want to acknowledge Kane as creator but keep in mind Bill Finger heavily influenced and helped mold Batman's design. It was very much a collaboration.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463102991012765922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7088987141848715305.post-61998083956036433572012-12-03T18:30:24.029-06:002012-12-03T18:30:24.029-06:00Totally should have had Don Newton as an honorable...Totally should have had Don Newton as an honorable mention.

Sure, some current artists make some interesting realistic art, but, they are all following Adams' footprints.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7088987141848715305.post-48328696264377571902008-09-15T17:16:00.000-05:002008-09-15T17:16:00.000-05:00taylorf21, I don't know which artists you're inter...taylorf21, I don't know which artists you're interested in studying, but Google can really help bring in some gold mine websites if you're willing to sift through a few not-so-great ones.<BR/><BR/>greg, I'll have to check into Mazzucchelli because I've never heard of him before.
