In my opinion, he is one of those underappreciated comic artists. This IM interior art does not do his work justice. His work looks so much better with other inkers. He seemed to be a popular artist in the late seventies (he did a LOT of core Marvel books - the artist on the 200th anniversary issues of FF and ASM and 300th of Thor), but by the time I started reading comics in the mid-eighties and later, he seemed neglected. I mostly saw his art through the back issue bins.<br /><br />While I wouldn't consider him among the greats like Kirby, John Buscema, John Byrne, or George Perez, I think he's just under them. The man was solid. I never understood why he wasn't a fan favorite. There were so many inferior pencillers on Marvel titles in the eighties, that I don't understand why Pollard wasn't given one of their jobs! I rank him along with Kerry Gammill as pencilers who didn't get anywhere near the respect they deserved.<br /><br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
