Thanks!
I made a list awhile back of the comics that I think influenced me the most.
The ones that I notice the most art Moebius, Fil Barlow (who did Zooniverse and designed a ton of 80′s cartoons– ALF, Captain N, Extreme ghostbusters)
( I think about Pope, Shirow and Howarth for storytelling lots)
Also Herge and Uderzo who did Tintin and Asterix.
and Kenichi Sonada (Gun Smith cats, Gall force)
and I learned a lot about color from my ex Marian Churchland (who just had a new book Hchom come out from Image)
I’ve been on a big Manara kick. His work –especially his Bergman books and the book he did with Felini feel so much bigger than comics.
That’s kind of the artists that I go back to the most– I could go on for a long time about it.
