Are comics a form of art?

[General Disarray]

I saw a topic about the fantastic four movie and after seeing no one called the posters nerds I'm going to go out on a limb and assume I won't look like one for posting this.

Are comics a form of art?
Look at length at some of T. Ott's work (a dutch artist who produces silent noir comics) and you'll see stories that look as though they should be bound in fine leather and art that could hang in a museum, but paired together, they seem to illicit a general "eww" reaction from most people. Comics still carry a stigma of being low grade trashy entertainment. But with writers like alan moore (From Hell, The Watchmen) and daniel clowes ( Like A Velvet Glove Cast In Iron, 8-Ball) as a writier and artist, it seems as though comics have come into their own. Hit movies such as Road To Perdition and Ghost World are based upon their comic counterparts. But many people are apprehensive to accept them as so. This is understandable as there are still a lot of irrelevant drivel coming from the comic world. But is any other form of art so different?
What is your opinion?

yowza
I thought this thread would fare better
as long as I'm talking about art here
I paint in my spare time
here are three pieces I completed this week

That's not your face i see on the TS in the paintings is it?

What message was it that you were trying to convey in these paintings?
not my face at all
my hand yes
and the model was a willing friend
and not a ts

These paintings were studies
just an exercise in sadism.
nothing really sexual about it for me.

Sometimes I like to pretend I'm Patrick Bateman
Sometimes I like to drink blue kool aid and pretend I've been poisoned with windex

Art or not, depends on the story. All the old stuff like Batman, Supeman, The F4, Spiderman etc. was more propaganda back then. It´s just the superhero stuff for sick kids like I was lol. If you want to check serious comics, then try Enki Bilal. It´s mostly Science-Fiction Politthriller stuff.

I like how one the pieces is dated 04, and I'm an artist...I've seen these before. Give me a second. Or maybe i'll just blow up the artist's signature.

You're fake.

who do you think Karl Persson is?

[Kabuki]

This guy just steals photos and art. Don't waste your time responding to him. I've caught him in a lie before.

I really don't know........you have a rebuttal Kabuki? Are you sure these couldn't be his (General Disarray's) Paintings?
Kabuki frequents the chans
as do I
he/she saw me there a couple of times and is unconvinced that this is the same person seen on there

LOL...He just edited the post that said he created those paintings this week. One painting was completed in 04. If I wanted to waste time with him, I could get gallery info and play around with him.

All I have to say to General is "Lurk Moar". He knows what that means. General has been kicked off HA more than once as well. I remember him posting the same sketch before, and he was using more pics from the same image boards.

Believe what you want, but I know he's fake.

more pictures!

I didn't need to...I'm an actual artist. The guy has work in an art book...for "JEsus H. Christ". This was too easy.

Keep editing your posts by the way...lol
