Troynos, I said I was going to stop, but just quickly- Rob Liefeld's first major work was for DC in 1988, this led to New Mutants and X-Force at Marvel by 1990, where he became quite popular, reaching "superstar" status. Andrew Wildman started work in the late 80s as well, but primarily in Britain, and didn't join GIJOE until after Liefeld was well known in the States, so around 92-93. At this time Marvel was actively trying to get all of their artists to imitate a Liefeld or Jim Lee style. They believed that was the way to sell comics. Wildman didn't start out like that, though it can and has been argued that his art was too superheroish for GIJOE, even at the beginning, but he rapidly morphed into a Liefeld/Lee mimic, which can be further seen when you examine his X-Men adventures work. It was unfortunate, because his later art doesn't compare to Lee's Liefeld's or even his own original style. The later artists were far worse I will admit.
Can't really call anyone a Liefeld/Lee mimic. It's either one or the other since they're pretty far apart in styles. Haven't seen any of Wildman's work since G.I. Joe (at least not that I remember).

His X-Men Adventures work really struck me as trying to borrow from both Lee and Liefeld, sometimes more one than the other. He got the Adventures job from his work on Joe, and I believe was on that title for a long time. I remember not being too fond of most of his Joe work, and not digging X-Men Adventures at all, and being really afraid that Marvel was going to move him to Uncanny, or adjectiveless X-Men.

colonel hawk stay on the boards and keep posting.
I find the discourse interesting. Plus this isn't even close to a flame war or what not. Just you and oliver giving different opinions on things. BTW do know where we can read any of the stuff about Hama and what he was forced to deal with and what not, especially the serpentor thing, as that would answer a question I would like to ask him concerning his CC vs serpentor feelings.

We're not asking a Snake-Eyes question. There has been plenty published about Snake-Eyes and his history has been well documented. Snake-Eyes Declassified and all the other Marvel issues that deal with his back story are already there.

Oliverbox, I think we are just going to have to agree to disagree, because I think you are wrong about many things...
I am sorry to have somehow offended you Oliverbox, and never meant to be confrontational. However, I strongly disagree with some of your statements, and could not in good conscience let them stand as if true, with no alternative point of view. You have been on this board and thread far longer than I, and have many friends here, I don't wish to continue to cause confrontation or disagreement, so I will refrain from participating from here on out.

I thought that a Snake Eyes question was already agreed to, and everyone seems to be enthusiastic about it?

yeah... I thought one was a snake-eyes one, another one was a cobra one, and then two more random ones.

For those that are interested in Hama, or Joe historical info, start with YoJoe, they used to have a lot of links to interviews, and old Joesites with historical info as well. I am not home at the moment, so I am trying to find the various Joe books on Amazn, and will post links when I find them.
