Jeff Lemire is a writer and artist who I’m looking forward to seeing a lot more from. I haven’t read his Essex County trilogy, but I’m enthralled with Sweet Tooth and was fond of The Nobody (although it felt like so much more could have been there). Soon he’ll be writing a regular Superboy series and a feature for The Atom, which I’m especially excited about. He does do his own art in his creator owned books, but will only be writing the superhero books. It makes sense because his art is so odd and unconventional in a way where it doesn’t fit in with what most other superhero comics look like (far beyond the likes of Frank Quietly or Gary Frank).
Still, I’m curious what some of these superheroes would look like if he drew them. So after a bit of online sleuthing, low and behold he has some sketches on his website, including Hawkman and Atom.
Overall, while I enjoy the sketch for what it is, I think the artists that are on board for the Superboy and Atom projects are more fitting (and their stuff has just been awesome anyway).
His Jonah Hex is pretty cool though:
