I chanced upon a "Marvel Masterworks" collection of <i>The Mighty Thor</i> focusing on Ron Frenz's work leading up to issue #400.<br /><br />WELLLL....if you love an artist, these identical panels are described in terms of "homage" and "tribute to". If the artist in question does not wind a guy's clock all that tight, then I can't help think of darker words like "copying" and even "plagiarism". Within the pages of a couple of issues, I saw panels and poses that were a pencil stroke away from being traced.<br /><br />Mimicking a style is a nifty talent and tribute to the other artist. Copying & Pasting don't impress me no how.Big Murrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03311467081145732439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-85374320419411326762013-10-23T13:37:25.522-04:002013-10-23T13:37:25.522-04:00Ron Frenz did the same of course, and did it well....Ron Frenz did the same of course, and did it well. However (although I could be wrong), Buckler didn't mix his styles, whereas Frenz sometimes had Kirby Thors and Buscema Thors on the same page, which was a little disconcerting. I don't mind artists imitating Kirby - just ao long as they're consistent.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-83748225754657407142013-10-16T23:45:14.115-04:002013-10-16T23:45:14.115-04:00You're right, of course.

But like you, I've got a soft spot for Buckler because his versions of Thor and the F.F. are kinda the ones I grew up with. That Ego story was my first introduction to Thor! And it was a pretty damn good comsic comic! Ego scared the hell out of me! I stopped reading Donald Duck after that. (Nothing against the duck.)<br />But they were copying Kirby on Thor in the late 80's and early 90's, a great run, and a few classic bronze age pencilers whom I won't mention copied themselves a lot.<br />How many different ways can you show the Hulk throw a punch? Those guys had to work fast.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
