Page "Gilbert Hernandez" Paragraph 14

Hernandez has said that, at a young age, he was particularly enamored with superhero comics — particularly 1960s Marvel Comics artists such as Jack Kirby's work on Fantastic Four and Steve Ditko, and the cartoony art of DC Comics artists such as Carmine Infantino and Dick Sprang.

He also said he drew a large influence from humorously exaggerated, naturalistic artists such as Dan DeCarlo, Harry Lucey and Bob Bolling's work on various Archie Comics titles.

He was impressed by the longer, " epic " stories he found, for example, in Classics Illustrated, or in issue # 2 of Charlton Premiere Comics
