When I learned comic art could be ART
New Mutants #18, from 1984, introduced a new artist to the mutant books: Bill Sienkiewicz. He’d made his mark on Moon Knight and a few other books. This was a real turn, as Marvel’s style was far from artsy, and the comics industry was still recovering from the heavy influence of Neal Adams. Sienkiewicz developed an art style based on illustration techniques. It was evident in page layouts that set the stage for the modern age, featuring irregular panel shapes, overlapping images, and borderless panels.
