MARSHALL ROGERS
#18
By Alex Ness
One of the great aspects of growing up in the late 60s through the early 80s, for me if no one else, was Underdog. Beyond that, I discovered Turok, Son of Stone, and many more comics, great cartoons, anime, and Kaiju. But comics were the cheapest of all to own, so my focus was comics and used books.
The works of Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams changed comics in ways that you could keep your old favorites, that were close to G or PG in considered using movie ratings. But now stories could be graphic, use adult sounding words, and if labeled, appeal to adults. Through the maturation of stories, one might marvel at the modern and artistically realist art and stories. One artist who was rather unique, was Marshall Rogers. His art spread across the publishers of comics, but he was noted for the fine lines, perfect anatomy, smooth, and beautifully distinct work.
