Page two through the Hawkeye Initiative and I’m starting to think that American comics are a Great, Big, Mistake ™
Yeah… I like comics, but I’ve gotten used to periodically being jarred out of the narrative when my brain shrieks, “DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HER BACK WOULD HURT FROM STANDING LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME. NOBODY’S PELVIS TILTS THAT WAY NATURALLY.”
I don’t think it used to be this bad. For a long time Western comic art was really fairly simple–cheap paper, four color and halftone, everything drawn with fairly simple, even stylized forms. Drawing women in unrealistically sexy poses honestly would’ve taken too much effort for that style or production speed. This is really a problem that’s grown with the increasing sophistication of comics art over the past couple of decades.
And then there’s Greg Land, who traces his women from porn mags and doesn’t see the large number of problems with that.
