One of the most versatile and influential draftsman and illustrators of all time. Up there with Frank Frazetta, in terms of just how much he influenced the anatomy and artwork of all you're favorite superheroes and the comic books they appeared in, and continue to appear in.
Me personally? I'm a Hogarth revivalist. Hogarth is more relevant to American traditional comic book artists and fine artists. I learned light, shade, shading shadow, anatomy, and clothing, wrinkles, and drapery, all from the textbooks of Hogarth. Except I don't call my Hogarth influenced anatomy studies superheroes. I just call mine "Heroes". "Super" is kinda pretentious nowadays.
On top of all that, Hogarth was a founder of one of the most influential art, animation, and cartooning schools and colleges of all time. The New York School of Visual Arts. A place many modern animation greats went to.
