Comics fans seem to sleep on Scott McDaniel.
Insanely talented, and FAST. He was the co-artist on DC’s Countdown and Trinity weekly issues, with Mark Bagley. He produced like 10 pages of interiors for a weekly series for 2 years straight. (That’s insanely fast.)
Great, great artist. He does not get the love he deserves because he gets associated with derisive projects, like the armored Daredevil series. Scott is an absolutely top tier talent.
Conan the Barbarian, Vol. 1 # 45 Page 27 by John Buscema, with Inks by “the Crusty Bunkers” (Neal Adams, Bob McLeod, Joe Rubinstein, Russ Heath, and Fershid Bharucha), Letters by John Costanza, Colors by Glynis Wein, and Roy Thomas adapted the script from the original short story by Robert E. Howard.
It gets progressively better as it goes along.

I will not answer, but I will give you a clue. Here is a clue for you: https://www.wired.com/2005/07/gorillaz-2/
Agreed.
Wanna know what I remember about Oasis? I remember that fucking song, “Wonderwall”. Which gets replayed on classic rock stations all the time and retro hipsters think of as this amazing moment. I was in middle school when that album came out. When it was brand new on the radio, and I was guaranteed to hear it on the way to the bus stop, on the radio at gym, and on the bus ride home every day for like 4 months... it started to wear a little thin.
And then later on, I found out that the Gallagher brothers were these nightmarish caricatures from Great Britain that routinely fought and argued with each other in public. And I was like, oh yeah, Wonderwall. Huh.
Blur was similarly nothing. Song 2 was a big deal for a while. But. Blur spawned the Gorillaz. And if you listen to Blur, and then Gorillaz in album release order, there is a clear evolution. Gorillaz are some of the best at lo-fi chill music.
Last I heard of Oasis was Sacha Baron Cohen talking about how much of an asshole the Gallagher brother he met. Imagine that. The guy that plays Borat found the public behavior of -I think- Noel Gallagher so appalling that it was beyond funny. It was ridiculously cartoonish and idiotic.
So we have the 2 assholes that made the massively overplayed song “Wonderwall”, versus the band that became the Gorillaz.
It was Liam Gallagher that appalled Sacha Baron Cohen.

Reposting all this bc my mutual, Tom O’Leary shared the shared the original art for the Gorillaz self titled album. Tom’s blog rules. If you follow me, you should follow him too.
On a tangential note, fuck Neil Gaiman. I hope he and Amanda Palmer die of infected syphilis sores in their eyes. Rapist asshole piece of shit and his lying, conniving, mooching bitch of an enabler.
