		For the movie industry, Steranko was the conceptual artist on Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark, designing both the look of the film and the character of Indiana Jones.

		The three-part Captain America is a much better choice, as it showcases Steranko's groundbreaking visual style to much better effect, but the plot itself is sloppy, and it's way too long at nearly 60 pages; It could have been done in half that, and some of the logical lapses just boggle the mind.
		Steranko's visuals are stunning, and you can see his influence in character poses and page layouts to this day.
		Steranko's techniques of color holds and otherwise should have held more than enough, even better with today's technology to keep the colors true.

		But the development of Steranko's signature style as an artist became THE reason for bothering with a comic that was, in many regards, the bottom of the line at Marvel.
		But as much as we admire Steranko's use of fine, defined ink line we also need to pay attention to his use of pacing, which is undeniably cinematic.
		Steranko's style is very cinematic and I would not be surprised if many moviemakers of today did not read these stories in their youth.

		Easily one of the top five most influential comic creators of all time, what Steranko brought to the medium can only be called monumental.
		I wish they could have gotten Steranko to do a new cover for this book or at least use the only cover (that I can think of) that they forgot to put in here, "Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D." #1, but I guess beggars can't be choosers.
		Steranko's "Captain America" issues are quite possibly the best Cap stories ever, and that is a lot of competition he's up against.

		These classics are also a departure from earlier Steranko material, as the expanded format of the then-new Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. monthly comic gave Steranko more room and a wider canvas on which to paint his mind-bending adventures.

	Lee's Discussion Forums - "Did you attend STERANKO/CHABON"
		I actually attended the event more for Michael Chabon than Jim Steranko, but I've been a big comicbook fan since the mid-70s (I really miss the Perez Avengers and Claremont/Cockrum X-Men from those days), so it was also a great chance to see a legend like Jim Steranko.
		Both felt very honored to share the stage with each other and it was easy to see the creative energy as they discussed their lives and their work.
		I wish I could have stayed to say hi to Steranko and have him sign his new book, but with a pregnant wife and a two-year old at home with the power out, I had to leave after Chabon signed the book.
