Great book to post from, anon. Love those pulpy comic book covers. Also love these threads, I'll dig in my inspiration later this weekend to see what I can add.

>The classical Loomis style perpetuated by artists like Jim Lee, George Perez, Michael Turner (may he rest in peace), Stan Lee, and Jack Kirby are immensely out of date.
None of those practiced the "classical Loomis style" and Stan Lee wasn't an artist.
>a bunch of political crap.
yawn
>manga great fight scenes, blah, blah, Beserk, Pupun, Vagabond, etc.
Yeah, I've read all those too—some are great, others overrated.
But this thread isn't about regurgitating the same old "east v. west" garbage. It's about acknowledging long forgotten western classic comics. And a key thing about these classic comics are that they had multiple genres (like manga does now) which appealed to a wider audience, and told fun, thrilling, pulpy stories read by working class folks (not just nerds). This alone would greatly improve contemporary American comics, which are almost synonymous with dreary, repetitive superhero stories.
