Mignola composes in flat black shapes, letting shadow do the work a dozen lines would elsewhere. That language, drawing on folklore and pulp, produced Hellboy and the whole B.P.R.D. universe built around it.

Jim LeeLegend

Comic Artist, Penciller, Publisher

Few artists have shaped what a superhero looks like on the page as directly as Jim Lee. His early-nineties X-Men work, all dense crosshatching and coiled anatomy, became a house style that later artists still work against. He left to co-found Image Comics and WildStorm, then became one of DC's defining figures on Batman: Hush and Justice League.
