If it was the early 90s we all would have thought this stuff was TOTALLY RADICAL!

I was more into Asterix in the early nineties.

Haha...seriously though, thankfully I was never that into Liefeld despite being, like most comic fans, into Image in the early 90s...(Jim Lee and McFarlane though...young Nate liked that stuff).

It's his drawings of girls that are most sad. You can tell he invests a great amount of time and effort into drawing "hot" women...you can tell he's getting some thrill out of it. He also apparently has never actually seen a real woman. He's got the mentality of a 10 year old just entering puberty...he has the vague notion he wants women, but they remain a complete mystery. The best guess he can make it that a naked woman looks like a skinny man with two round things on her chest.

I really liked this quote. xD

"* here is a simple guide to creating your own Image Comics character

1 - take a pre-existing Marvel or DC Comics character that fat guys would like (The Punisher)
2 - change his name to couple a negatively connotative word (blood, die, death) with a second but completely unrelated negatively connotative word (shot, hard, blow)
3 - draw scribbles all over him
4 - do not make him engaging or interesting ever"

Uwe Boll's not such mystery though. He uses a loophole in German tax law to finance his films.
I find it mysterious, how comes Rob is popular and Uwe isn't. I figure if you like one, you're gonna like the other too.

That pic of Cap was the one that finally made me realize Liefeld was a terrible terrible person. Before, during the early 90's and whatnot, I was just a punk teenager who hadn't yet gotten serious about learning how to art properly, so what did I know? Liefeld's stuff seemed kind of cool at first. But then once I'd grown up a bit and gotten a more discerning eye for drawrings, I saw short-arm hinge-chest Cap in Wizard magazine and thought to myself, "Who the hell is he trying to kid?"

Yeh, but I think Neko is probably right . . . Liefeld's got to have somebody up high that's treating him like a kid brother or something. The real mystery is who and do we have to kill him/her too so there won't be another Liefeld later on?

'Cause I think it might be like how you need to kill the head vampire so all the other vampires will die off.

Well, Liefeld really isn't anymore. His heyday was the 90's . . . most everyone hates him now.

with the inconsistencies between the art and the writing (omg I miss blonde chick who was kidnapped yet is IN THE PANEL RIGHT THERE) I would have compared it to an Ed Wood movie before any straight up satire.

I've seen #40 so many times yet it still hurts to think about her spine. Ow ow ow.

the saddest part is that I remember that the Avengelyne character (the one with the "S" for spine shape) was actually based on his wife.

Yeah, but the segment with the missing girl who is present all the time is almost identical with the case here. Only with Bunuel, of course, it was intentional.

My drawing style was influenced by Jim Lee and Marc Sivilstry (masacred his name) than liefield. His drawings always looked wrong and were irritating. Muscles that don't exist. Women with thighs that would cause real women to freak. And the fact that most of his characters are a little tense or severely constipated. He just happened to hit at the right time, too bad someone didn't hit him at the right time.
