Jay Cochran - December 14, 2020
In March 1941, comic book legends Jack Kirby and Joe Simon introduced the world to Steve Rogers in the historic CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS #1, and a pop culture icon was born. Now, Marvel is proud to honor their tremendous contribution to the comic book industry with CAPTAIN AMERICA TRIBUTE #1, a giant-sized special celebrating the character’s 80th anniversary.

See the Star-Spangled Avenger’s extraordinary origin, his first battle against the Red Skull, and his Silver Age debut where he emerges from suspended animation to live on as a Star-Spangled Avenger like never before as your favorite artists reimagine these classic tales for a new age. These definitive comic book stories will be presented in an all-new way in a star-studded special that will delight long-time True Believers and the current generation of Marvel fans!

So sad to see that

Awh man that's disappointing. I remember loving his Heroes Reborn run (from my bro's copies of the book) when he first debuted and when he did the art for X-treme X-men.

I do remember random stuff from him like Iceman looking like Brad Pitt and thinking that was weird but not to this extent

Wait...what's wrong with Salvador Larroca?

Even since he's gone photo-realistic in the mid-2000s, his style has gone downhill. His faces are very uncanny valley, his shading is pretty bad, he takes very obvious shortcuts like copy-pasting the same character or object in several panels instead of redrawing it, and he relies too much on tracing. When he was drawing Iron Man, his Tony Stark was 90% traced photographs ofJosh Holloway, and when he drew Star Wars, 90% of his panels and faces were infamously just straight-up traced from screencaps of the movies. Some of his mostflagrant examples include tracing memes, like the heart attack guy or cocaine bear. He was also recently caught using a Star Wars map lifted straight up from DeviantArt (with watermark and everything)

I think you might be a bit out of the loop because most of them are established long-running Marvel artists. A lot of heavy hitters and only a handful I don't recognize. The only misfires seem to be Salvador Larroca and Greg Land, but the rest of the list is top-notch with people like Declan Shalvey, Valerio Schiti, Joe Bennett, Alex Ross, Steve Epting, Adam Huges, Javier Garrn, Chris Samnee, Pepe Larraz, Greg Smallwood, Mark Bagley, R.B. Silva, Iban Coello and Patrick Gleason.

Damn! Good jump off point for Hasbro Legends to give us first appearance Cap, and indeed Original Human Torch. They could give us an entire Golden Age line up!

As far as stacking up to the works of Jack Kirby the only one I can vouch for is Alex Ross. Of course I have been out of the comics collection since 2012 so I could be off my game a bit. Anyway if I was a betting man my money would be on Ross the boss.

Ross is a fantastic artist, but once again he will probably be just doing a page

I'm also a very niche reader. I just stick to Cap and Avengers. I'm also horrible with names, lol.

Fair enough. I hope I could guarantee you that at least they're good artists.

I figured you'd be familiar with the most long-standing artists, but still, a lot of them are still also established artists and some of Marvel's most prominent current pencilers, even if their careers are, by comparison, shorter than those you mentioned.

I know Bennett, Ross, Epting, Hughes, Samnee and Bagley. I've been reading comics since 93 and don't recognize most. Maybe when I see their art I'll recognize them. I really wish Ron Garney or Ron Lim would have been on the list.

That's exactly what I assume it'll be.
