Was an American comic book artist, writer and editor. He created a highly successful super hero character called Captain america for Timely comics predecessor of Mavel Comics. Kirby co-created many of Marvel Comics' major characters, including Fantastic four, The X-men and the Hulk along with writer-editor Stan lee.Despite the high sales and critical acclaim of the Lee-Kirby titles, Kirby felt treated unfairly, and left the company in 1970 for rival DC Comics. I like his work as he makes his comics more nonrealistic to others peoples design of comics also he makes it more comical. He began exploring superhero narrative with the comic strip The Blue Beetle, published January to March 1940, starring a character created by the pseudonymous Charles Nicholas, a house name that Kirby retained for the three-month-long strip. He then collabarated with cartoonist and Fox editor Joe Simon.
makes his images look more realistic However, Charles Burns is an animator and illustrator who is better known for his monotone images (ref; Charles Burns - Monday 3rd Oct).
This is one of Charles Burns comic covers.
uses alot of colour and more realism.
Jack Kirby uses more vibrant colours and more defined shadows in his works whereas in Charles Burns comic work he uses more realistic colours. Jack Kirby's style is more comical and it has exaggerated expressions however i think this is what makes a comic i like his work since it is more exaggerated. Also, Charles Burns uses his monotone to create that realism in his picturte and his comics and uses the shading of the black and white to create an effect of shadows and highten the realism of the image.
The way that Jack Kirby creates comic covers is interesting as his drawing are intriguing to look at as they are different to others comics also the type used in the image of Captain America stands out with all the different colours he uses since they are eye catching. Also, the the speech coming from the characters and the signs shown show more understanding for the people who read comics.
As well as, there is a lot going on in the image which keeps people interested as there is enough to look at. Also, this shows action and shows that this has a lot of action in the comic maybe and he makes the front covers to his comics like a introduction so you know what is involved and what the charaters are.
Bill Sienkiewicz
This is Bill Sienkiewicz comic cover.drawing Moon Knight, in The Hulk [black-and-white comics] magazine". His art style was heavily influenced by Neal Adams. After art school, he showed a portfolio of his work to DC Comics' art director Vince Colletta, which led to his breaking into the field at age 19. The artist recalled in 1985, "They didn't have any work for me, but that didn't bother me. I just figured that if comics didn't work out I'd have done advertising or illustration. Vinnie called [renowned comics and advertising artist] Neal Adams, who put me in touch with [Marvel Comics editor-in-chief] Jim Shooter. Soon after that I was
If comics wasn't he thing then he was going to do advertising or illustration. However he soon got in touch with Mavel Comics. And he then designed many comic covers such as, X-Men as you can see on the picture above and many others like Hulk and Fantastic four.
Bill Sienkiewicz is similar to Jack Kirby and Charles Burns as they all design covers for comics and all relate as they are in the same area of work. Sienkiewicz uses the same sort of techniques as Jack Kirby as they both make it look non realistic and more comical. Sienkiewicz makes his type stand out and works well as it is at an angle also its bolder than the rest of the image and is 3D making it stand out more oppose to 2D text.
The colours that he has used are very warm colours for example reds and browns this could create a dramatic effect compared to cold colours- blue and black.
The traditional way of colouring comic images is to create pixal effect using only the primary colours to create the colourful images which contain the secondary colours.
He is quite different to Charles burns as he is not very realistic and is more comical like Jack Kirby. Also makes his work look more interesting as he uses more brighter colours to make it stand out to all the others
