Jim Lee Art
Anyone know of a good history of comics in the 1990's?
I'm rereading the entire X-men line of comics from the 1990's (started in the 60's, even), and got nostalgic for how weird of a time the 90's were for comics. I was only in grade school when most of the turnovers happened (Marvel to Image basically), and while I have a pretty general understanding of how everything came to be, I was wondering if there's any resource out there that pretty comprehensively chronicles the change in industry, art style, story direction, personalities, of comics in the 90's, especially with regards to X-Men (but not necessarily).
I'm most interested in how the hell Rob Liefeld, Jim Lee, and Whilce Portacio (among others) managed to get themselves in a position where these rookies could call shots over folks like Chris Claremont, and then suddenly jump ship just a year later.
Yes actually! There's a book called The Dark Ages which is all about the late 80s/early 90s trend in comics focusing on gimmick and spectacle, the emergence of grim and gritty heroes like Spawn, Cable, etc., and the begining of Image. It's told mainly through interviews and profiles of many of the creators from this time, like Todd MacFarlane. I'll get you the Amazon.com listing, it's exactly what you're looking for.
