Artists you were wrong about?

A lot of young people don't like Kirby - especially early Kirby - and then later grow to appreciate what he was doing.
When Steranko came on the scene, a lot of people had trouble with his psychedelic sensibility.
A generation later, I found Sienkiewicz's work on New Mutants completely inaccessible. I hated it.
I was wrong. Way wrong.
Anybody else have one of these experiences?

Sienkiewicz is definitely an artist I grew to appreciate more with time as well. I would add Simonson to the mix as well too. However, generally, I like what I like relatively quickly.

I’ve never been wrong about an artist, heh.

Breyfogle. Didn’t care for him at first, but he’s one of my top Batman artists now.

Mike Magnola is an artist I've always had a little trouble with. I remember reading his old DC stuff like Cosmic Oddysey & just could never get into his chunky style. Then came Hellboy & his attention to atmosphere, background, weather, etc .... & I completely got him. I think he's an amazing Horror' artist. Verdict's still out on his superheroes.

Mignola's black and white batman statue is most sought after, most expensive b&w statue. So i don't think so...

Actually, I take this back. I used to love John Byrne’s art but now I find it boring, kind of like a one trick pony. I just reread his run on Superman, Namor and Incredible Hulk and it just doesn’t hold up. I have his complete FF Omnibus collection but I’m reticent to revisit it.

I will admit I’m negatively biased against him for his general negative attitude but most especially for when I read his criticism of Gene Colan’s work when this Silver Age pioneering artist was sick, just before he died.

Kirby , Ditko & Sienkiewicz. I didn't like any of them when I was younger. Thankfully I learned the error of my ways as I matured.

I agree his art hasn't been as dynamic in the latter part of his career. What do you think of his current X-Men work?

In fairness, the fact he’s on it has caused me not to purchase it. So, don’t know.
