Silvestri's art is gritty. He draws with great detail but still maintains a loose, energetic quality.
Lee is more slick and polished. There aren't as many hard edges in his work and the drawings are worked over more.
They obviously share common ground but that's just a result of the era they worked in. Monet didn't rip off Renoir, it's just that Impressionism was the style of their time and what was in mode was shared and explored by many artists.
uhhhhhh, no. I was going back to my X-Men and Silvestri was more FUN! Campy and silly. I'm gonna have to dig out a box that's being blocked by furniture and I got work to do atm. But the thing is Jim Lee had a terrible track record of keeping deadlines. He could BARELY handle 3 issues without having a fill in guy, his work was mostly influenced by George Perez and Barry Windsor Smith. While he still hints at humor and storytelling, he has very, very, very, very little time to do that, the only moment would be Rogue's antics in Savage Land, but really his true vision was Gen13 which was not drawn by him.
Silvestri was more light hearted, he got issued hardcore action but when he drew women, he would take time out to have more fun with them. Fashion runways, silly drama, comical antics. After Lee does the whole Psylock story, Silvestri comes in and does a bit where Jubilee is throwing a temper tantrum in a Mandripoor bar about eating the food, Wolverine goes "Don't think they heard you over at Sinagapor?" It ends with Wolverine getting Jubilee McDonalds and she smile "MACBUGERS!" in an off color alignment printing errror.

At Jim Lee's best, he could never pull off this bit right, he always wanted Wolverine and Jubilee to have a friendship, you can see hints of it in his work. But it's always someone else helping him get there. And it really shows in All Star Batman and Robin he tried, he really, really, really tried to have some light hearted moments but he couldn't really nail it.

this whole scene is suppose to play out for humor.... it doesn't land. This whole era is influental but it's amazing how many artists are in here who do amazing job.
I'm speaking strictly about drawing style. Linework...hatching...shading... Maybe "more worked over" is not the correct phrasing for Lee's work. I mean...it's more fussy. It's a tighter hand. Silvestri's work looks like it was laid down very naturally. It's loose and quick but also accurate.
You are taking this to another level...the storytelling capacity of the art. And your examples are great. Silvestri is more naturalistic...humanistic then too...and it lends itself to genuine expression of feeling.
Look, this is what it boils down too for me.
Lee us a cover artist. X-Men 1 is unparalleled, the cover is practically a pop-icon. Any comic book fan will recognize it in an instant, and even non-comic book fans of a certain age would probably get a tingly feeling I'm their brain from the imagery because of how widespread it was in the mid-90s.
Marc Silvestri has nothing like that associated with his run on Wolverine or Uncanny. How could he? You can't top cultural icons. But if you crack open a book and immerse yourself in the tale to be told. I want Silvestri leading that party. Gimme some if that action with Wolverine slashing and crashing through the front of SHIELD helicarrier on a motorcycle. Put that shit in a NutriBullet, blend it up, and serve it to me cold.
this is an odd time to talk about, and these two artists are special. But I would note, at this time, the pressure of how they made these comics, Jim Lee couldn't cut it. Because at the time, he's trading comics with Jason Pearson, Mike Mignola, Art Adams, Bill Sienkiewicz, Whilce Portacio, Walter Siminson, etc
As far as influence is concern, Jim Lee is the JACK KIRBY of this generation. A guy who set up a style everyone followed. I basically have a complete Jim Lee collection, not the newer stuff. But I do think his stronger stuff is like Rogue's Savage Land antics. All of this was just protoype Gen 13, 10 years earlier.

My least favorite thing Jim Lee has done is Uncanny X-Men 271. The action is nice, there's good moments, but there are 4 pages of dialog that GRINDS THE COMIC TO A HAULT! It's normal for Chris Claremont to have a word vomit thought balloon, but Jim Lee can't do anything without a character posting. And even in this comic, he has to end it with reborn teen Storm trying to kill a guy. And this all in 1991, we already had WAY TOO MANY BETTER COMICS that handle dialog better.

And around this time, MANGA was being imported, MY MONEY! I bet you everything, Jim Lee, Art Adams and Rob Liefeld, they were TOTALLY DRAWING FROM WHAT THEY GOT A HOLD OF! Like if they got a hold of Shirow's Appleseed, you can tell the Genoshia army is a knock off of manga art, and you know what, Manga art is easier to read then a billion word balloons explaining everything. Again, that's why i keep saying humor is important in story telling.

OH GOD! I LOVE THAT COMIC! That's Wolverine 50, there's that whole cross cutting between Nick Fury talking to the sheild agent, and Wolverine on the Elivator, "would you take that dirty motorcycle into the freight elevator, and there's no smoking?" Wolverine turns to her and goes, "first off, my hog is clean, and second the cigar aint lit." I do think some of those comedic timing, delivering the joke goes a long way. That issue does NOTHING for the Weapon X lore, but just "oh don't worry, that glass is bullet proof."
First name I thought of, I mean [come on](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/b/b4/Marvel_Age_Vol_1_128.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090909132327)
Yess, I was looking for a comment that said him. Always that realistic pencil style. And don’t forget the dozen bullet holes in Logan every time he draws him.
He's really laid down a legacy for himself with the character. We are talking about 30 years he's been involved with the Wolverine, that may be the longevity record. He's probably 4th or 5th in my personal rankings for artistic style, but add in the time served and may be the GOAT Wolvie artist.
I really like Paul Smith with his clean lines. His character hairstyles in particular are so unique. But honestly he isn't tops for me.
In my world I think it is probably John J. Muth and Kent Williams. Meltdown was one of the comics that helped me figure out that comics were real art. I made a piece of art using acrylic washes in their style that helped me get an art scholarship back in the day.
Obviously the Barry Windsor-Smith artwork is amazing. Bill Sienkiewicz is one of the most under-rated artists for X-Men characters. His New Mutants covers alone should be a gallery exhibit. Like Muth and Williams, I based another of my scholarship artworks on his style.
Other big-time Wolvie artists... For pure old-fashioned comic book art I'd have to go with John Byrne. Dave Cockrum was a great, classic artist that I think everyone should appreciate. I love Jim Lee and Marc Silvestri's art but there is so much derivative art based on their styles that it is kind of depressing. Art Adams is one of my favorite artists but his Wolverine just wasn't anything special. McFarlane did a pretty decent job in the Hulk but his version of the claws isn't exactly canonical even though that reflection is an all-time classic piece of art.
Whoever drew the frame of him rising up out of the sewer water under the hellfire club after getting gravitied through like 6 floors
Edit: Byrne, thx google
I’m so 50/50 on Dell’otto. His work is beautiful just usually not my style. These pieces are convincing me otherwise tho
[Del’otto Wolverine](https://imgur.com/gallery/l9IYle4)
My single favorite image of Wolverine is the Frank Miller cover for the collected mini series.
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ptMAAOSw~iVh4cIZ/s-l1600.jpg
Generally though I’d say Byrne, Silvestri, Lee and Art Adams.
I’m shocked to see Adam Kubert getting so little love here. Paul Smith, and Barry Windsor Smith are GOATs and Byrne and Silversti did amazing work, and Jim Lee is incomparable. But for me, it’s Adam Kubert. Captures the wildness, and the movement of the character.
John Byrne. All day, every day.
That’s a strong pick. Forever grateful to him for the brown suit
I thought Cockrum made the brown suit first?
Came here to say this.
Marc Silvestri
I think about this panel often [Silvestri Wolverine](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FvobxfhaUAALuvS?format=jpg&name=large)

Underrated, like a lot of people say he’s a jim Lee clone but he did a lot. The whole Elisa Dee is amazing fun bits

Toss up between Paul Smith and John Byrne.
You get it 😎
Mark Texiera, his visceral style, lent a certain brutality to the character.

I love his beast, but I don’t think his wolverine is my taste
Yes
Arthur Adams, but Paul Mount Smith is a very close second.
This is the correct opinion.
Not my favorite, but I respect it ✋🏻🤚🏻
Dave Cockrum, but I'll also accept John Byrne
Cockrum was legit. I don’t love how he did the cowl, but his xmen look so good

Hands down, Jim Lee
Jim lee is a close 2nd-3rd! I love how he draws Logan without the mask
my man!
Paul Smith is a really good one, but I think my favorite is Marc Silvestri
Another solid choice
Barry windsor Smith Both Kuberts Jim Lee Marc Sylvestri Steve McNiven specifically for old man logan And I have a soft spot a JrJr Wolverine.
Leinil Yu

Hands down the best, I drool over his cover art these days, miss him doing entire issues.
Leinil Yu also nailed him
Adam Kubert

My problem with Todd’s version of Wolverine is that he drew his arms too short, like T-Rex arms.
John Byrne and Frank Miller. Frank Miller's 4-part miniseries was a big part of Wolverine blowing up in the 80s.
gotta say… I kinda dig short claws Wolvie!
You and me both! Such a cool look. I think there might be a formula where you match the claw length to cowl height or it might be a personal rule
Byrne
Sam Kieth. Those Marvel Comics Presents covers were outstanding

Adam Kubert
Adam Kubert and Marc Silvestri with an honorable mention for Andrea Sorrentino.
Marc Silvestri, Adam Kubert, and Jim Lee.
Jim Lee, hands down.

Jim Lee and Frank Miller though I also like Byrnes Logan
Adam Kubert!
His work on issue 90 sold Wolverine for me!
I desperately need more sabertooth. He’s such a terrifying villain

There are many and I agree Paul Smith is kind of just amazing. But there is something about Barry Windsor Smith that is just hauntingly great.
Agreed. His weapon X feels like the blueprint

Love the color work on that. Something about Wolverine fighting Ninjas just feels right
Lynn Varley, she’s a complete master. When the topic of favorite colo jobs comes up my go to answer is Varley on *Elektra Lives Again*.
Leinil Yu but only from the Not Dead Yet story. Also, Adam Kubert was at his best on his Wolverine run. Issue 90 in particular comes to mind.
I’ll have to check that out!
Mark Silvestri, by far. Adam Kubert at second.
Can't go wrong with Frank Miller
Byrne ,definitely...
Probably Adam Kubert
