	Rob Liefeld - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rob Liefeld (born October 3, 1967 in Anaheim, California) is an American comic book writer, illustrator, and publisher.
		Liefeld’s superhero team series Youngblood, which is loosely based on a 1991 Team Titans series Liefeld had proposed to DC Comics, was the first comic Image published.
		Liefeld was featured in a television commercial for Levi’s “501” jeans, directed by Spike Lee.

	Talk:Rob Liefeld - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rob Liefeld (born March 10, 1967) is an American comic book writer, illustrator and publisher, who was one of the Modern Age’s most popular and controversial figures.
		Liefeld was contracted to write 12 issues of The Avengers and write (with Jeph Loeb) and illustrate 12 of Captain America, but he failed to meet the agreed-on publishing schedule and his output met with an unenthusiastic response, failing to reach the sales targets required in his agreements with Marvel.
		Liefeld subsequently claimed that his books had sold similarly to Lee's and that his dismissal was driven by a sceptical Marvel editorial who had disliked both the deal (negotiated by their predecessors) and the hostile reception Liefeld had received.

	Thumbnail: Rob Liefeld
		For comic book fans of a certain age, Rob Liefeld is a lot like hair metal; back in the day you were utterly convinced he was the coolest thing ever, now the threat of torture couldn't get you to admit you ever read one of his comics, let alone enjoyed it.
		Meanwhile, Liefeld had created Maximum Press as an outlet for projects he wanted to pursue outside the Image group, and was accused by the other partners of misusing Image funds and resources to promote and finance his new venture and not having Image's best interests in mind.
		Liefeld also returned to his original Marvel sensation, Cable, taking the character's solo title through its 75th issue, finally resolving some of the storylines that had started back when he originally worked on the character.

	life and links of a nerd: Rob Liefeld
		Liefeld's artwork began to improve as He studied anatomy and started to add backgrounds and perspective.
		Liefeld refused to follow Marvel's suggestion of returning to His previous drawing method, which involved shoving a blunt pencil up His arse and gyrating across a page to the sound of Vanilla Ice.
		By then Liefeld had realised that, if He was to support His new wife and child, He would have to appease His fans.

	Rob Liefeld is a God! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		For those of youwho don't know who Rob is, that would be Rob Liefeld, former wonder penciller with Marvel's New Mutants, then X-Force, creator of Cable, co-founder of Image Comics, first founder to be kicked out of Image Comics, and former star of several Levi's comercials.
		Liefeld was once considered one of, if not the, hottest artists of the early 1990's.
		I know that Don was supposed to pencil the new G1 Ongoing, and he still will, after I ink it, hehe, but Rob will write and pencil a a six issue arc starting with issue 6, in July or August of 2004.

	Talent Pool 03 - Rob Liefeld (1998)
		Search the Web for "Rob Liefeld" and what will come back is vitriol, diatribes, and long, passionate damning of the man. Furthermore, searching terms like "worst writer" and "worst artist" and "comics that suck" will, likely as not, return you something with his name on it.
		Liefeld's style contains idiosyncrasies that some readers may not find particularly endearing: anatomical distortions (limb proportions, odd-looking wrists, and some other things); facial expressions that fall into a narrow range; composition/storytelling that sometimes falls flat, is redundant, or unimaginative; lack of background detail.
		A reader who dislikes or is indifferent to what Liefeld does quickly could come to dislike him from the unnecessary adulation he once received.

	Rob Liefeld's Teen Titans Talk
		Although artist Rob Liefeld might be remembered for his work on Marvel Comics’ New Mutants/X-Force series, as well as his own creations, the artist did some of his earliest comic book work on the new post-Crisis version of the Hawk and Dove.

	Why is Rob Liefeld still making money? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Later, when Liefeld was creating Awesome Comics he needed a patriotic character archetype and liscensing the Fighting American characte from Simon would grant his universe greater legitimacy and improve sales rather than using the character that he created which was a Captain American rip-off...
		Liefeld bought the rights to FA so he could make him into the Captain America he was fired from.
		Rob liefeld is a hack man. He has three or four characters that all either are ripp-offs of the thing, hawkeye, bedrock, i can go on and on.

	Komikero Comics Journal
		Lee, Liefeld, McFarlane, Larsen, Silvestri and Valentino delivered widescreen comics back when the comic populace referred to them simply as Image comics.
		They created a lot (and still create a lot) of great comics, and I'm a huge fan still of many of their creators, but to me it's just not right to claim credit for something that they did not do.
		I'm open to the idea that others may have and I'm curious what they are and who are the writers and artists responsible.

	COMICON.com: UPDATED: ROB LIEFELD ON ALIAS, JJ ABRAMS AND HOLLYWOOD
		Rob is definitely still bucking the trends, as his comment on the state of the industry will show.
		Oh - and I have nada against Rob - he was cordial enough when I spoke with him at the 2000 San Diego Con, while he was doing this KICKASS Siryn sketch for my cousin (he actually did a couple of pre-sketches, trying to get the image just right for her).
		I know Liefeld has said the industry is in bad shape(and it is),but did he ever think it was the factors of creatures that are late, never come out with the product, come out with a very bad product,variant covers, or the increasing cover price of comics.

		Newsarama caught up with Liefeld over the weekend to see what’s in the offering, including a revisit to one of his most famous — or infamous — creations, this time “reconstructed” by one of the industry’s best-known writers.
		Like Liefeld himself, Casey was pretty blunt in his assessment of quality of the original series, though mixed with a healthy sense of personal responsibility for its commercial success.

	The CHUD.COM Message Boards - Rob Liefeld ousted???
		I was reading an article about Rob Liefeld and it mentioned that he was "ousted" from Image.
		There was a post not long ago which had pieces of Liefeld artwork and the panels he ripped off.
		Above it, hang a sign that reads "Punch Rob Liefeld in the mouth for $20." I'm guessing you'd have a lot of folks dropping a C-note on the counter, and no one's asking for change.

		Rob Liefeld sticks out of the comics industry like a thumb that's been trapped in a door and then slammed shut repeatedly over a period of weeks while alcohol is dripped on it.
		Amidst failed movie deals, projects that have never come off, and declining sales, Rob Liefeld's appearance on a mainstream property such as Wolverine was guaranteed to lift it by tens if not hundreds of thousands of sales.
		ROB: I know that the creation of Image Comics had an enormous impact on shaping the industry as it is today, both positively and negatively.

		So Marvel lured Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld back to their company (They had left to form the very Image comics company that was giving Marvel the heebie-jeebies).
		Liefeld was committed to drawing the story - Lord knows why - so previous artist Ron Garney had to go.
		Stories differ as to the exact reason why Liefeld's run on this book was ended prematurely, but it all comes down to a messed up product that was an embarassment overall for a number of people involved...

		One of the most criticized and maligned American comic book artists in recent memory, Rob Liefeld still drew a handful of comic books that I thought looked great.
		Rob showed signs of promise, but has not grown much artistically since he began working regularly.
		Rob was drawing some clean and fun superhero stuff with a lot of youthful enthusiasm and energy.

	The Daily Raider: Rob Liefeld's Captain America #1 Review
		It should be mentioned that Liefeld got kicked out of Image and Lee left to sell his imprint to DC.
		Though there were often scripters, like Jeph Loeb, Lee and Liefeld were able to plot their own stories in the Heroes Reborn universe (evil villain of the week - Onslaught was defeated by the Avengers and the FF killing themselves.
		But hey, it's a Liefeld comic; things don't need to be explained, but if they are explained inadvertently between the lack of legs and the out of proportion art, all the better!

		Rob Liefeld, probaby the worst artist out there that is making more money than good artist because of exposure.
		I have an axe to grind with this guy, i had to unlearn a lot of things that i learn when i was a kid and copying rob because they were wrong.
		at the height of Rob's fame at marvel, and feeling the hurt of "work for hire rights"(meaning all those cool characters he invented belonged to marvel, not him), celebrated marvel artist todd mcfarlane packed up his bags and convinced a powerhouse of artists to follow him.

	TITAN TALK WITH ROB LIEFELD - NEWSARAMA
		Rob Liefeld: I was a major, big time fan of the Teen Titans as a kid.
		I think a lot of people hate Liefeld because of what he and represented in the early 1990s -- bad stories and over the top art pandering to the lowest common fanboy denominator -- but those days are over, and I think there is still a place for that art style in small doses.
		Rob's art isnt' for everyone, but then again, neither is mine.

		Then comes the announcement that Rob and Jim Lee were redoing four Marvel flagship titles on the tail of the Onslaught saga in 1996.
		Rob's initial investor pulled out not long after the initial launch of Awesome (and the subsequent lawsuit from Marvel over Fighting American may not have helped).
		My belief is that those who passionately hate Liefeld the most are the ones that liked him and were disappointed the most when he didn't come through with his potential.

	Superdickery Forum -> Rob Liefeld The Dot Com!
		Liefeld has a webpage, babies weep, and it has his own hi-larious comic strip called Shrink, which I guess is about a sex hooker who has hooker sex with super-heroes to power up her sex hooker space ship which is fueled by eroticons....
		Okay, Shrink is really bad, but Liefeld is more known for his art than his writing.
		The X-Force/ Titans one are similar but it's a pretty generic image that it could be coincidental (The same goes for the Youngblood/GL panel.) I don't think using a photograph as a model actually qualifies as a swipe either.

		Rob Liefeld: Y'know, my immediate response is to say that the team books appealed to me because of the larger, more diverse cast of characters.
		LIEFELD: I'm not sure we've lost something as much as we've gotten so much bigger and it's just impossible to maintain as consistent a level of quality as Marvel did in that period.
		LIEFELD: I'm not certain if it is an age issue, but it's my first instinct.
