PROMPT SELECTION: VINTAGE COMICS

And the greatest comic book artists of all time is… Jack Kirby. If there is anybody who thinks he is not, please redo your homework. But seriously now, there has been many great comic book artist, especially the vintage ones, we could name the great Steve Ditko, Wally Wood, Will Eisner, Stan Lee, Bob Kane, the list goes on and on. What makes them so special is their unique talent, to draw and to listen, of course comics don’t illustrate themselves, but they don’t write themselves either. The perfect cooperation between the writer and the artist is essential. And those artist knew how to handle it. Their legacy is incredible. And the generative AI takes full advantage of it. One very active and creative AI storyteller that happens to be mentioned quite frequently by us, Allen T (@Mr_AllenT) came up with these marvelous prompt. Marvelous, you feel us, right?! 😉 As he says “a fun prompt for creating vintage comic style generations of your favorite anime, movie, or entirely new characters” and it goes like this.

Prompt: [Subject], 1970’s american superhero comic panel, vintage, ditko –ar 3:2

Allen also left a side note to it: “I recommend turning –style raw off and using a medium stylization. Additionally, if you want to focus on the subject more and provide less background, change your aspect ratio to 2:3.”
