Quotes

Mark Evanier, comics historian: "Bob Brown, a veteran artist who had drawn everything from Batman to Challengers of the Unknown ... now found his work regarded as 'old-fashioned'. It wasn't so much that Brown couldn't take a more modern approach to his work as that he just plain didn't understand what that meant. Editors kept showing him the work of new artists, he told me. They'd say, 'This is what we want now', but Brown couldn't grasp just what it was he was supposed to learn from the examples, which often struck him as displaying weak anatomy, poor perspective and other fundamental errors. It was almost like they were telling him that, 'Kids relate to crude artwork', and he knew it wasn't that". ["P.O.V. Online (column): "Notes from Me" (Dec 7, 2004), by Mark Evanier]

Tony Isabella, scripter during Brown's run on "Daredevil": "I loved working with the late Bob Brown. I was a fan of his from his days as the artist on DC's Challengers of the Unknown. Yes, he was very much underappreciated". [Daredevil: The Man Without Fear (fan site): Isabellainterview, May 1997]
