The quality of American comic art is often compared unfavourably to that of Japanese manga, particularly considering its preoccupation with muscle-bound superheroes, but the illustrations presented here seem to demonstrate this is not the case…
Unfortunately for the reputation of American comic artists, all these were in fact drawn by a Tokyo-based Japanese illustrator, Sana Takeda, now quite well known for illustrating a wide variety of American comics.
Those interested in seeing more of her art would do well to pay a visit to her homepage.
Whatever can be said about the quality of American comic art, the largely justifiable perception that such comics consist almost exclusively of juvenile superhero yarns which have been endlessly respun for over 50 years whilst being subjected to the most draconian of “voluntary” censorship seems unlikely to dissipate any time soon.
these were nice
i like them for the most part
I’m friends with some American comics artist and I can tell you one thing, there’s a LOT of cheesecake art that they do. You might not find it in a Marvel or DC comic, but pick up an Action labs, Zenescope or maybe even an Image or Dark Horse comic and you’re going to see cheesecake.
But I do love the irony in featuring a Tokyo based artist. Hard not to laugh at that one.
Faggot ASSWHIPE , strong pussy like your mommy bark that to you.
sorry but they are apples and oranges. I love both, i connect far more with manga like berserk and comics like The Dark Knight, eternal struggles(not that i’ve faced any real “eternal struggles”) than i do with with manga/anime like DBZ, or comics of superman (i still connect but more in the, “no matter how much power I attain, still gonna have to fight just to wake up in the mourning” stuggle).
I love them both, but to compare them is childish. manga is different from anime is different from Comics is different from Comic-based animation and movies…
American comics aint sexy. Just look at those silly looking fucking clostumes.
Western sexy or cute looks more like slutty and whorish.
Shush. Japanese cute looks like pedophilia and your porn looks like r♥♥e.
