Best DC Comics Artists

To begin, the art is pure Dan Jurgens. The artist, writer, creator rose to fame with his incredible work on Superman in the 1990s and with the soft revamp Zero Hour. In Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey, Jurgens’ curvy lines and strong musculature create kinetic panels with illustrated colors.

Though Jurgens’ art may seem exaggerated, in the mini-series, the artist improves on perspective and propotion, his characters are all distinctive and come to life with powerful facial expressions. And Gregory Wright’s coloring is masterful art that adds layers of illustration for a SCI-FI atmosphere in the backgrounds of Apokolips. Witness the upgraded Cyborg Superman in his new exo-suit on Apokolips. Check out Jurgens’ art book You Can Draw: Marvel Characters.

THE FIGHT

In Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey (1994) #1, Doomsday arrives on Apokolips by cargo ship programmed by Cyborg Superman. As Doomsday destroys Apokolips and its army, he faces the awesome might of Darkseid!
