Meanwhile in Japan, Hirohiko Araki was drawing Japanese David Bowie beating up a green midget.

It's funny that while they were recording this Rob Liefeld was already planning to leave Marvel and start Image.

Everyone talks shit now, but everyone ate that style up in the 90s.

I remember him sitting next to me one time in church in my early college years scribbling all of these amazing figure on his church bulletin. He was pretty mild mannered and kick back--we went to the beach a few times and saw some movies with our group of friends, like seeing Space Balls. I remember when he came back from San Francisco and how excited he was--along with Tony Lobido and Todd Bruchert. He went in to marry one of my friends, Joy, and then we lost contact. I've recently got into Comic Book culture as in Superhero materials and suddenly I am seeing Rob everywhere. Love it and recollecting the era before he made his big break.

I never knew Jason Bourne drew comics

"We're gonna sell a bazillion commies." - Rob Liefeld, 1991

Is it just me or does Liefeld look like he could be a Wahlberg?

say what you want about old Rob, but he comes off as a pretty humble and friendly guy. I'm not a huge fan of the EXTREEEEEEEEEEEM 90's style, but it was his niche for sure.

R.I.P STAN LEE (we lost a great legend)

HE HAS THE SAME FACE AS ALL OF HIS 'CREATIONS'. Except without the extra layers of face muscle.

Every time I read or hear about Rob Liefeld, I'm just filled with overflowing inspiration. I realize there's no reason to doubt myself. Rob Liefeld is living proof that you can make it in comics on hard work and panache alone.

This video really shows why so many people love and admire Stan Lee. He's such a kind, genuine and humble person, but he also knows when and where to poke fun, and not in a nasty way, he makes sure that everyone can laugh with him and that everyone is happy. Truly one of the best people on earth, up there with Bob Ross and Mr Rogers.

Idc what anyone says. Liefield defined the 90s in comics. To make an entire era so identifiable is a talent in itself. Crazy edgy names like BLOODSTRIKE or DEATHBLADE or whatever and bulging muscles and huge guns. Say what you want but I'm very happy this era of comics exists

I know there's a lot of hate for Liefeld. I personally don't prefer his artwork. But I think what many people forget is that the people whose names we know are not the most talented always, but the most talented among those who are willing to do what it takes to achieve notoriety and success in their fields. Liefeld took what talent he did have and found a way to commodify it, plain and simple.

"our creation".....aaahhh... such a stan lee thing to sayy

Personally, Rob's story is inspiring to me. He's a nice guy, and has his own recognizable style. He still does what he loves, even though other people don't like it. That's persistence and bravery in my eyes, and is what every artist should do.

I'm definitely not comics expert, but one thing I've noticed is his grown up kid mentality for drawing... he envisions concepts and style like a 12 year old would. Maybe that's what made him famous and profitable.

I give Rob a lot of credit. He’s self taught and made it big. I also believe he got lucky because this was during Marvel’s rut. I’m self taught so if he can do it, I can too.

For a guy who was only 23 yrs. old hired by both Marvel and DC and faced a monthly audience , I would say He did pretty good ,plus Deadpool is a huge success . Working in Comics is a tough gig , for a young guy that was taking on alot of responsibility and his books were selling too .

It seems like there's a lot of people that dislike Rob because of his work, but he seems like a genuine man that really is trying his hardest to put the best work out there that he can, and he's just made a couple of mistakes that any "young" (or new) person in this industry would make

Thanks for posting this. I had this entire series on VHS back in the early 90's. People give Liefeld a hard time, but years ago, at the conventions, he always took the time to look at my art and gave me sketches and stuff. Thanks for the good memories!

I love Rob's art, it's bizarre and different.

People make fun of his style but i loved it as a kid.

I loved his comics as a kid and I love them now. I used to watch this VHS in my LCS all the time. God I miss the 90’s.

Was just binge-watching these when the bad news came. RIP, Stan.

A great and a genuine person, amazing artist

Rob leifeld is an awesome artist. I don't know who first started talking shit about him but they're WRONG! Deadpool almost everyone's favorite character now, belongs to him. Cable is another kick ass character.

Rip Stan lee

These videos are such a vibe. I love watching these just for Stan Lee's smug smack talk lol

In case anybody was wondering, both of those characters are now official marvel characters You may have already knew that, but if you didn’t, the more you know~

Rob is the type of guy to come up with a great idea, but once he makes it, it looks quite weird.

Thank you for posting this. His story in the beginning about how he got in was super inspirational.

People talk a lot of smack about Liefield but I’ve always been a big fan of his art work.

This is awesome but depressing cause it reminds me how I'm stuck at a normal job and I'm now 30 but as an artist I keep drawing and hopefully I break into comics or something art related

He took a life drawing class? I was considering sending copies of Jack Hamm's Drawing the Human Face and Figure. No, seriously: I admit, I like some of his stuff. It's so exagarrated.

Goddamnit dude i miss stan so much

CROSS - the guy you don't wanna cross. :D Make a movie! Btw. ..needs more gear.

Damn Rob... Watching this I realize I totally misjudged the guy, he started young but humble and living the dream, he sounds like a really good person

I've spent a third of my life trying to draw like Rob Liefeld.

cool, they actually created a couple legit characters on this thing

Rob said commies and he knows it lol 31:39

great stuff

What i like about Liefeld is not the artstyle, mainly, (even if i find it funny and energetic somewhat) but the fact he really tries to create something compelling write it up, draw it up by his own. There are many, many many comic boks artists that are better than him at drawing, but have no real creative skills whatsoever, don't know or have the confidence and boldness to write one story, and so, they're sorta buried up doing comic books they don't even like doing. Then, other good artsts come, and they pass on in the preference of comic book readers. Rob instead at least tries to make it all, do his own creations, good or bad, but their are recognizable as his stuff so the readers will never forget him. Btw he could have matured a technically better art, and even stories if he didn't have such an immediate success still being that young. He's not a master like Mignola or Frank Miller and others. But anyway look, he really loves doing comics and he's still there doing them !

Rob gets a lot of flak, some of it is deserved, much of it is not. He is certainly not the best artist to ever draw comic books from a technical standpoint. Some of his work is definitely hilariously "off" to say the least. However, his work has a lot of appeal as is evidenced by the huge sales numbers from his heyday and his continued success presently. His art is like a Michael Bay movie, lots of style, flash, energy and cheese, while being light on substance. Sometimes, that's exactly what people want. I'd like to say that I can enjoy the work of an acknowledged master of the medium such as Alex Toth and also enjoy what someone like Liefeld brings to the table. I enjoy them each in their own way and I recognize the marked differences in technical ability and understanding but my enjoyment of both remains. That may be blasphemy in some people's eyes but hey, to each their own. Also, RIP Stan Lee, incredible legend. His recent passing actually inspired me to revisit this video. One more side note, I wish these videos were on DVD or Bluray.

20 pages a month drawn and inked is one heck of a feat i mean thats pretty astonishing. Regardless of how "good" the art is.

Don’t quite like his new stuff but I really love the presents of his stuff from the 90s.

He seems more chill than he is now somehow. He's a lot more, lets say, enthusiastic now ha.

Rob Liefield the creator of X-force man doesn't get the respect and credit he deserves

looks like deadpool and cable

He looks like Matt Damon

He wasn't an artist. He was an artisan. A machine. He made good. Good for him. He SHOULD'VE grown out of it though...

Stan was the man! He will be missed!Still love Rob and love that they have brought his creations to life in the Deadpool movies. Love to make fun of his, since fixed, inability to draw feet...I’m sure he’s tired of it, but it’s with love and gratitude I joke about it! Robs send off to Stan in Variety was amazing and I can’t think of a better person to do it!

I can't see how people say he's so bad. Of course, he's not the best artist, but he's not bad. Not at all.

Awesome story!

Rob was way more humble than todd

Say what you want about rob, as a kid his art made my imagination run wild!!!

"We're gonna sell a bazillion COMMIES"

HAPPY 95TH BIRTHDAY STAN LEE !!!!

I love how eloquent they talked back then

this dude its the Rock Lee of comic artist

Somebody call an ambulance! A couple of young men were horribly burned!

I can see some mistakes he made along the sketch, but thats the kinda stuff which happens when you rush a piece.

I feel bad for Rob. I mean, not because he gets criticized, but becaue he gets instead of critizism.

Danika aka cbg19 sent me here. thank you

I've never seen so many haters in the comments

Good Will Hunting, Marvel edition.

R.i.p Stan

even though I'm not big on Liefelds style he did help change how comic action scenes were drawn

Hes so amazing...love his attitude

Yo, this show is fuckin’ EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM!!!

Came here in 2024 just to see if Stan asks Leifeld to draw feet 🤣🤣🤣

were on a roll stan, were gonna sell a bazillion comicbook,commies...Commies, COMICS

who is here after seeing his interview on comic con

Where cable was born

😅 Rob never took an art class in his life.. smh

ROB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

does anyone know what table they use to draw

aaa the sarcasm

23:28: "Black kinda says ... something!"

Stan Lee: * Compliments Rob * Rob: *okay*

Anyone know what that poster behind Stan is? Is that catwoman?

sweet

*well, the madcap laughed at the man on the border-*

A GREAT THAT NEVER WAS!

Ankles rob.

Diedhard shops in the kids section for shoes

Those feet !!

I dont know if he was one of the comic book greats more like the comic book rip offs.

It's night and day watching the episode with todd and then the episode with rob. Nothing seems to faze rob, he's really laid back and can roll with stan's razzing. Nothing against todd, love them both, just something I noticed. Maybe todd was nervous lol

The problem with his style is that he tries to put too much realism. His style has more resemblance to cartoons, but he just adds too many details to give it some realism. It's like drawing Bugs Bunny, but making the fur look realistic as possible.

Rob looks like Todd from breaking bad

looks like Matt Damon

Rob gets alot of crap for his art back in the day (feet & pouches especially), but I think people are making the mistake of comparing recent art to the art of back then. To anyone reading this, just humor me: google search comic pages from the 50's and tell me if you don't see a huge difference. The coloring of today is 10,000 times better than it used to be and so is the detailing of anatomy and backgrounds. So back then, Rob was a pro and so was Todd Mcfarlane for that matter. I won't include Jim Lee because he is on a different level...he came out of the womb with a sketchpad and some pigma microns.

still waiting for Rob Liefeld to do another LEVIS commercial. 0.o

Flipper feet

Rob definitely regressed in his art style. 25 years ago, he showed fast-fancy drawing skill and atrracttive figure. however now, he just shows dullish skill and Crumpled-cardboard figure.

You may not like his work, but take note that his art, as flawed as it is... if you see it, you know Immediately it's him...or an imitator to him. Many artists would KILL to have that kind of artistic style recognition. So poke fun at the tiny feet he draws, but Picasso also distorted the human form until it became a style of his own as well.

DIE HARD how original

People still treat rob like trash as if he has never improved since the 90's, like what idiots! just check it his modern work, he is awesome!

as much as you hate this guy work at least he is geniune he doesnt steal shit unlike that one dude who claim to be original.
