The “Iron Age of Comics” (80s-90s, roughly) has a reputation for edgy ideas and badly rendered art due to a few artists who rose to superstar status at that time but there were a lot of great pencillers and inkers putting in some damn work in these funnybooks

Wolverine #49 (Dec 91), written by Larry Hama. Mark Silvestri on pencils, Hilary Barta and Dan Green on inks, Steve Buccellato on color. Silvestri and Green were also on Uncanny X-Men together in the late 80s. This is just one of those pages that really comes together. Suggestions of detail without being busy or overrendered, kinetic, emphasizing mood and action, this is a damn Comic Book

Truly. Honestly, after having had to look at way more direct market comics at my old job than I would ever care to actually read, the "badness" of '90s cape comic art is truly overstated. Definitely annoying to set Guided View for, but dang is it often a lot more interesting to look at than current century direct market comics. The truly greatest comic art crime of the last 40 years is the early '00s trend of colorists doing hyper-rendered airbrushing on conventionally inked art. I cannot comprehend the number of John Romita Jr. drawings ruined by dodge and burn.
