Gave up on superhero comics many years ago, but still hugely enjoy comic art of certain types.
When done well, the art makes a mood that reinforces the story... which was designed with the art in mind. Think of it as a writen story with an extra dimension of metaphor, brought by the art. A bit like a play... only still. Animated solely by your mind. (Drags on a cigarette and straightens his skinny black tie.)
Here's work by one of my favorite artists -- not necessarily yours, of course.
