In the first post, there is a 1980’s style that didn’t get mentioned- the Miller/
Janson and Miller/ Mazzuchelli style. I saw a lot of artists try to loosen up by
emulating these influences instead of going down the
Adams/Byrne/Austin/Perez wing of the great theater of options. I thought
Cowan and Milgrom were early adopters in that vein.
Mazzuccelli himself is a notable example, as everything he did well snapped
into perfect form almost instantly upon teaming up with Frank Miller’s
writing on Daredevil. You can compare his last issue from another writer’s
plot (that was actually scripted by Miller) with the next issue which was his
first from a Miller plot. It’s like another artist entirely.
But to this day, there is a school of Batman art out there which seems
entirely aimed at recapturing what Dave did in Batman Year One.

Miller/Janson is a direct descendent from Adams/Giordano. Nothing new
there.

Miller is a “direct descendant” from Gil Kane and I’m sure some people agree
with me that he did bring something new. YMMV.

Miller did a new thing with SIN CITY, which Jim Lee emulated with DEATHBLOW. But I would say that Miller (at least this era) was inspired by Eisner.
