Rob Liefeld will draw your story

[Graham Pearce]

I've always admired Rob Liefeld.

Whether you like him or not, you cannot deny the impact he's had on comics!
-As a 20 year old he revolutionized Marvel in the early 1990s
-formed Image Comics which led to the biggest change in the industry for years in temrs of creator-rights
-created one of the best-selling independent comic books of all time, YOUNGBLOOD #1
and he continues to be a huge name to this day... All this without being able to draw feet!

I was a huge fan when Image formed and have always had a soft spot for his characters. I'm working on a few ideas for this Talent Contest and would love to have him draw one of my stories!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

It would be funny, if it wasn't true...

Cheers!

I've always admired Rob Liefeld.

I was one among the many in the chorus of mockery, but recently I've been following him on Twitter and he comes across as a decent bloke, occasionally hilariously forthright about his time at DC to the point I am amazed they haven't sued him, and he seems to promote the writers and artists he's published more than he promotes himself.

He's kind of like a Bizarro version of Orson Scott Card where instead of the man getting in the way of you seeing the work, the work's got in the way of seeing the doting dad, enthusiastic comics fan, and risk-taking publisher and champion of new talent - Marvel and DC would never do to Wolverine and Wonder Woman what Liefeld let creators do with Prophet and Glory, though they will often crow about their new art and writing discoveries even though they won't look at you until you've been established on the indy scene for a while, and here's the pouches man handing someone a paid working gig on a plate.

A solid point Prof.
Whatever opinions others have about his artwork, I've always liked him for the reasons stated above.

I've always been at great pains to state that I have no knowledge and/or opinion of Rob Liefeld as a human being, and I that I can certainly admire the business acumen of a man who has amassed many millions of dollars working in a job for which he demonstrably has no actual ability.

Rob Liefeld... ... a man who has amassed many millions of dollars working in a job for which he demonstrably has no actual ability.

A lot like any number of politicians.

Oh..

now come on. Come on. We could call Liefeld a brash jerk 'til the cows came home but... COMPARING HIM TO A POLITICIAN... that's just below the belt. Ouch.

If demonstrable ability is a prerequisite for working in comics, I am in bigger trouble than I thought.
