Oda has been building the world of One Piece since 1997, filling it with hundreds of distinct characters and paying off setups planted decades earlier. The cartooning is loose and funny; the plotting is anything but.
Larsen draws with a cartoonist's looseness and a superfan's affection for old Marvel. He followed McFarlane onto Amazing Spider-Man, then co-founded Image and has written and drawn Savage Dragon almost single-handedly ever since.
