I think sometimes with new characters, you can kind of hit a creative valley, and it's important to recognize when you're in that valley so you can get back out and get back to that peak. Jim Lee backcharactercreative Change image and share on social
More often than not, the fans really gravitate towards who's on the cover as opposed to how it's drawn or how it's composed, and so, a lot of the time, what an artist likes will be very different from what a fan likes. Jim Lee artistcomposecover share on social
Superman tends to stand very upright, and he's very symmetrical, and those are actually the most difficult poses for me to draw. Jim Lee difficultdrawpose Change image and share on social
Jerry Robinson illustrated some of the defining images of pop culture's greatest icons. As an artist myself, it's impossible not to feel humbled by his body of work. Everyone who loves comics owes Jerry a debt of gratitude for the rich legacy that he leaves behind. Jim Lee artistbodycomic share on social
'The Dark Knight,' 'The Rocketeer' and definitely the first 'Superman' movie by Richard Donner are the best. I tend to be softer in my judgment about what's a bad movie - I don't think anyone intends to make a bad movie, and sometimes it just doesn't click for some reason.

As a kid, I loved the whimsical Superman and Batman stuff, and as a teenager, Marvel was more angsty, and that appealed to me. Marvel dealt with more stuff I could relate to as a teenager. Jim Lee angstyappealbatman Change image and share on social
I think there's a responsibility of the publisher, of the company, to make sure the staple books that have been around for decades come out in a timely manner. Jim Lee bookcompanydecade Change image and share on social
As an artist, as I design and lay out a page, the less-important things, things I want you to spend less time looking at, I draw them very small, maybe even silhouette them. The more-important pivotal scenes, I draw them larger, maybe even a double-page spread. Jim Lee artistdesigndouble share on social
Once I started down the path of co-founding Image Comics, and even co-publisher, it just seems a lot more like a career path that isn't that atypical for someone with a college degree. Whereas, someone who draws comic books as a freelancer and lives from job to job is a more unusual story. Jim Lee atypicalbookcareer share on social
