Sounds like the most logical explication given so far . unless it ' s just Assad learning how to troll from Russia . I like ur explication better though . <| sep |># THE TOLERANT LEFT IS SHOWING IT ' S TRUE COLORS ! <| sep |> He was a lazy flop who fucking drew polar bears that looked like Frank Castle . You do know that this versioncontentuploads 201301 frankfacepolarbear 13582 . jpg is a photoshop , right ? The original polar bearcontentuploads 201611 s t e vedillonpunisherpolarbear 628 x 405 . jpg looks like a polar bear . Also , regardless of what you think , Steve Dillon drew some of the most iconic work in the entire industry . Preacher is arguably the biggest nonsuperhero comic of all time , outside of standalone graphic novels like Maus and Persepolis . his work on Punisher is also considered pretty important , with his Punisher being the Punisher for a lot of people . Steve Dillon might not have been the best technical artist in the industry , but not every artist needs to be an Alex Ross or Bill Sienkiewicz . He knew how to tell a story through his work , which was never any more or less detailed than it needed to be . A lot of people accuse him of being overly simplistic , but it ' s just that he understood the medium . While looking at a Moebius or Geof Darrow splash page is fun , Dillon ' s work often had the same impact with a tenth of the detail . jessetulipkissjpg . jpegI do consider him up there with Bill Sienkiewicz , Alex Ross , Jack Kirby , Moebius , Charles Burns , Guido Crepax , Darwyn Cooke , Paul Pope , Eddie Campbell , David Mazzuccelli , Darick Robertson , Frank Miller , Mike Allred , Duncan Fegredo , Georges Bess , Richard Case , Milo Manara , John Byrne , David Mack , Jamie McKelvie , Steve Ditko , Sean Phillips , and Mike Mignola . I think , simple as it can be , Steve Dillon ' s style is absolutely gorgeous . contentuploads 201605 T h e S a i ntofKillersandJesseCuster 600 x 458 . png There ' s genuine heart in his work . You can tell he really cared deeply about the medium . He had some personal problems and put out a lot of subpar work in recent years , but to take away his accolades because of that work would be like retroactively taking away the accolades Frank Miller received for Ronin and Sin City because he also did The Dark Knight Strikes Again and Holy Terror . Seminal work remains seminal , even if later work never reaches those same heights .
