I don't know where Liefeld got his influences from.
But I do know in the 90s an editor told Trimpe to make his art look more like Liefelds, telling him it would boost sales on the book and make him more popular.
He tried. To say the results looked horrible would be an understatement. His career as a comic artist was effectively killed.
He then became a teacher and now he's writing.
Oh and thanks for pointing this out Dwight, I'm now interviewing Herb Trimpe for next issues CollectorTimes.com :)
