The Best Modern Comics

Most historians consider the present era as the modern age of comics.  There is no denying that the current digital technology has left a permanent impact on the way the comics are made and created a primary shift in the base of both the entertainment and business side of modern comics.

The comic book publishing has entered a new age. The illustrators and cartoonists are using computers, scanners and graphics to make drawings. Pen-and-ink drawings have been replaced by the digital art.

Peter B. Gillis and Mike Saenz made the first modern comics in 1985 – “Shatter” and were followed by “Batman” by Pepe Moreno in 1990. Many artists still sketch on paper and then scan the drawing to use it digitally in different computer programs. Many comics artists like Dave McKean use both the traditional and the method to make the drawings.

Striker comic strip for The Sun was the first fully digitized artwork by Pete Nash in 1998. Snuffy Smith was one of the first cartoonists to email comic strips and made use of the computer-generated art and modern comics.

Some of the other well known artist using digital technology to churn out the best modern comics today is Dean Young, Frank Cummings and John Marshall. Although all three live in different places, they have mastered their own technique of using technology in comics.
