Neal Adams draws Scott Kurtz's Player VS Player Part II

[artisan555]

The lettering pen Neal is referring to is a nib pen with a square tip, so when you make a vertical stroke, it's broad; when you make a horizontal stroke, it's thin. Kubert was probably inking a drawing with either a Speedball or Esterbrook pen tip which is difficult to draw with, but Kurbert is so masterful that he can make successful drawings with almost any tool. Just so you know, Charles Schultz drew "Peanuts" with a Speedball lettering pen (he liked a C-5 point).

My studio does advertising, and we just did this great 4 minute animation for Taco Bell the Super-Delicious-Ingredient-For­ce, which is as funny as baby farts. You won't rip your underpants off and pull them over your head laughing, but if you ever liked those 70's Superfriends-type cartoon shows, you'll laugh like you did with your first mouth-full of Pop Rocks. go to youtube/tacobell.

Neal Adams was ahead of his time. I have some of his X-Men comics from the 60's and the way he drew those books and many others really looked like they were done in the 80's. I am no expert, but I really think if you look at George Perez and even John Byrne, you can see his influence.

What distinction is there between an inking pen and a lettering pen? Nib shape? Flexibility? Materials? I tried looking it up and am none the wiser, thanks.

Well right there Neal is using a Nib tip, which gets a thicker or thinner line depending on how hard you press down. Using a brush for inking would yield something similar.

For lettering though, artists tend to use technical pens, which always have the same line thickness (they also use them for panel borders). Not much diversity you can get in terms of lines like that.
