Most Underappreciated comic?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Yoc:
There were other recommendations but I don't want to step on the posters toes.  I hope they redo their posts as well -

Another from me -
Of course fans of Frazetta can find several examples of his early comics works on the site just by doing a search for 'Frazetta' on the main site.
Some recent additions were very nice - Personal Love 024, 025 and 027 from the JVJ Collection, scans by OtherEric.
Both can be found here - http://tinyurl.com/yh6ut7t

OtherEric:
JVJ deserves the credit on the Personal Love issues, Yoc.  I just scanned them.

I've said this several times, but there are quite a few Romance books that deserve attention just because of the stunning art; even if you don't want to actually read the story.  We have quite a few romance books with Matt Baker art as well that are very much worth a look.

And while we're at it, how about those great Eisneresque stories of Dr. Drew in RANGERS COMICS?  They've been credited either to Jerry Grandenetti or the Eisner Shop (both are possible), and if you ain't seen 'em, you're gonna positively DROOL over them!

They / he also did two Senorita Rio stories in FIGHT that are VERY Spirit-like.  Don't remember the numbers.

It has always seemed to me that Lev Gleason's Crime Does Not Pay hasn't gotten the appreciation it deserves. The title was always a target of Wertham and other critics and I just wrote it off for years as not worth checking out. But thanks to GAC and DCM, I've come to enjoy the book. Charles Biro and crew generally delivered a quality product. Yes, I wouldn't encourage an 8-year old to read the title, but I think it was really aimed at late teens and adults.

Downside: stories were often word-heavy and some of the art could be pretty stiff (I'm thinking of Guardineer, for instance). But the stories often rose to a film noir level and you can find some excellent art by Maurer, Tuska, Palais, and Fuje, among others. Check out #39 and #41 for work from both Maurer and Palais, for example.

Well, I might mention DAREDEVIL COMICS #83, in which the Little Wise Guys tackle the heinous villain, Spike Dork!
