#18: “If this isn’t a drawing of a naked guy on fire anally violating a semi-nude grotesquery in midair I don’t know comic books!”

There’s simply no denying it: Rob Liefeld is utterly shit!

See, for example, item #4:

I held this picture up to my roommate out of context and said “I want to see how long it takes you to figure out what is happening in this panel.”  He stared at it for about 45 seconds, brow furrowed, before timidly offering, “Breakdancing contest?”

    I don’t think those are really the 40 worst Rob Liefeld drawings. I found some of them merely bad, and think it wouldn’t be hard to find others that are more obviously revolting.

    But the collater is a far braver blogger than I for even attempting it.

    I kept thinking in the early days of Image: now that you guys have all this money, could you invest in some anatomy books?

    I grew up with these comics in my friend’s basement, so the article was a perfect blend of snark and nostalgia (and art criticism).
