History DependingOnTheArtist / ComicBooks

* In the [[ComicBook/AmalgamUniverse Amalgam Comics]], a SpinOff of the IntercompanyCrossover above: the number of fingers in the hands of Shatterstarfire (a merge of Marvel's [[ComicBook/XForce Shatterstar]] and DC's ComicBook/{{Starfire}}). In ''X-Patrol'', drawn by Roger Cruz, she had four fingers per hand, as Shatterstar; In ''The Exciting X-Patrol'', penciled by Bryan Hitch, she had five fingers per hand, as Starfire (and most humans).

* ''ComicBook/TheSandman''. This does make a bit of sense, considering it's stated early on that everybody who perceives the Endless see them a little differently. However, the way this attribute works is sometimes inconsistent. In the first volume, when he meets Nada in Hell, Dream still has his trademark chalk-white skin, only with African-style facial features. When they meet again in volume 4 he suddenly becomes black.

*** Early issues have Dr Robotnik's initial appearance vary between a design adapted from the Sonic 2 cover art and sprite, and Richard Elson's own design that combined the Sonic 2 design with elements from the WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog design. The latter became canon until the ''Adventures'' design was fully adopted.

* In the Franchise/StarWars comic crossover series Vector, main character Celeste Morne went from looking like [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Celeste_Morne.jpg this]] in the first issue of the series, to looking like [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Zayne-flash.jpg this]] in the final issue.

* The various ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' comics constantly have characters switching between designs - be it the cartoon design, the model they were supposed to work from but tweaked, or art based on the toy but one artist using a different version. Sometimes, UK-written stories have slightly different color schemes from the US-written ones. The most {{JustForFun/egregious}} modern examples from IDW's series are ''ComicBook/TheTransformersAllHailMegatron'' ([[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 G1]] designs vs. designs based on newer toys vs. the designs used in Simon Furman's books) and the [[Film/{{Transformers}} movieverse]] version of Arcee (goes from looking like her unused Movie 1 design to looking like ''Anime/TransformersEnergon'' Arcee and back, until ''Revenge of the Fallen'' gave us a new official design.)
** The post-AHM Transformers comics are an even better example. In the ongoing series, Bumblebee had his E.J. Su design with Don Figeroa's current movie-inspired high detail style. But in the ''Bumblebee'' mini-series, running concurrently with the main book, Bumblebee is drawn with his G1 cartoon character model. Blurr is shown to have adopted an terrestrial vehicle mode in the ongoing series, but in a continuation of the very same scene at the beginning of issue 2 of the Bumblebee mini-series, he's shown with his Cybertronian vehicle mode! Artistic license is one thing, but swapping character models is going a little too far. It's gotten where each artist uses his preferred look for the characters, and to the Pit with what they looked like last issue.

* ''ComicBook/SuperDuck'' has been subjected to this, most obvious in his girlfriend Uwanna, whose depictions range from prime [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom fetish fuel]] towering over Super Duck himself, to a loli the same size as him.

** And then you have Rumble and Frenzy, who can suddenly swap colors in between (or even ''during'') stories - see the [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/FIRRIB#IDW_Generation_1_continuity FIRRIB]] page on Wiki/TFWikiDotNet for more.

* ''ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}'': Vampirella's outfit is sometimes drawn as a one-piece, form-fitting swimsuit with a massive CleavageWindow and [[SexyBacklessOutfit open back]], but other times as a tiny, physics-defying strip of fabric that pretty much only covers her nipples and crotch. Her boots vary in length from over-the-knee to only covering half her ankles. When she develops [[WingedHumanoid wings]], they either sprout out of her shoulder blades or her arms change into wings instead. Her body type fluctuates between voluptuous and muscular, and some artists give her a very youthful, almost teenage appearance while others draw her as a grown woman.

* ''ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures'' has this UpToEleven, since over twenty artists worked on it and no one did two issues in a row. [[RobotGirl Lyla]] is the most extreme case: she has been depicted from extremely sexy, especially drawn by Sciarrone, to slightly macrocephalic (in the first issue) or an AmazonianBeauty. Generally the Sciarrone's version is the most used (and the favorite among PK fans).
