Beyond anything else, his major contribution to comics is the way he utilizes color to establish place, time and mood. As a brilliant color man hey incorporates that into his designs. It's whats missing from most comic books. Example: http://www.newsarama.com/dcnew/FreedomFighters/USFF1_Page_2.jpg Acuna is fantastic.

But that's how I roll. I admire great art, but ever since I was a kid, comics have been a more literary medium to me.

Ford MF-the main reason to buy an artist driven title is awe, you dont have to read it, just marvel at the technique, the story telling devices, helps if you actually draw yourself so you can really gain an insight into how superior these guys really are,plus you can call it reference and file it in "corpse"scrapbook as genius soutions. But saying that OMAC, Superman and Freedom Fighters in particular were well written books, and do justifying buying on both counts. Cheers Paul, my bad, the point being they’re not American, or the usual suspects.

I tell people all the time it's the ART that gets me to buy a book! It could be the best written thing in the world, but if the art is hard to look at, I just can't spend the money!
