Its important, I will get to that in a bit. But yeah, you might not know Bill Sienkiewicz, but he s a rather legendary artist with a unique style. He designed both Legion adn Warlock in the x-men and thats what i thought of when we were looking at these extreme designs coming out of that era:
It kinda works when you see how the rest of pages he daws turn out:
But then artists are stl stuck carrying out his designs later in different styles so Legion is stuck with that crazy hair do and warlock always looks really out of wack with his suroundings.
But in the context of his art, it works.
Anyways, you might not like his art and thats ok, but Bill Sienkiewicz is still very much loved and a huge selling point to many. Back in the day, Marvel would use his eye catching style to sell books they werent sure of, like this one:
Yes, Bill Seinkewiecz, is behind the very first image of Optimus Prime (and Transformers) ever shown to the public.
