I love comics. Only in comics can someone like Frank Miller make bad art with fabulous stories and be ridiculed for a drawing that probably took him 20 minutes to finish.
On the other side of the coin comics produced Will Eisner. A briliant, brilliant man. No one is critiquing his art. No one looks at his steriotypical drawings and stories with an eye of contempt. Why?
Not to say what you did wasn't brilliant, it was, but I have to wonder what we as humans see as artistic expression. Do we only support expression when we see merit in it? Like when Eisner describes his childhood? Should we support Miller even though his drawing is bad and depicts the female form objectivly? Was that even his intention?
