His line work is tremendous, razor sharp. Proportion appears fabulous. His covers are always expressive and usually give the reader an understanding into the character's mind. He's a grand cover storyteller, a real throwback with modern touch.

Yeah Bolland is ssssssllllllooooooooowwww.

I always find him a little stiff and a little to "EC-ish" --my pref is for Jaime Hernandez or Steve Rude.

Never mind then, but at least get him to draw covers, his covers are amazing!

That would ruin the interior art cause it would pale compared to the cover!

I'd love to see a superhero comic illustrated by Jaime Hernandez; you can't help wondering what his Lois would look like. As for Steve Rude, hey, I just remembered -- is The Moth still going?

I think there is a new Nexus coming out.

As for Hernandez, outside of a few fanzine submissions from the early 80s, a few Legion femmes for the "DC Handbook", a few covers, and a Capt Marvel page for "World's Funnest", the only superheroes he's done have appeared in his own Love and Rockets stories --great characters like Comrade 7, Spacegirl, Cheeta Torpeda, & Ultimax.  But your right, his Lois would be interesting.  His Mary Marvel was really cute.

This is a funny thread about a sketch Bolland did at a con.  It doesn't sound like he's slow when drawing at cons.

I read his responses and they seem logical to me.
