Joe Kubert (1926-2012) is probably best known for his military comics and those involving Sgt. Rock in particular. Above is his cover to Our Army at War #299 (Dec. 1976) and a much more recent sketch he made of his tough-as-nails, Sergeant.
Tor is a prehistoric-human character created entirely by Joe Kubert. The above examples, cover and interior, are from a recent (2008) Tor revival by Joe Kubert and are quite illustrative of his sketchy, loose style.
Joe Kubert’s career was a long and prolific one, creating substantial quantities of comic book art up to the very end of his life. Above is cover art from his 200 page graphic novel, Dong Xoai, Vietnam 1965, published in 2010.

Not even the laws of perspective can survive those kind of g-forces!
Hmmmm, I really like Nefaria’s shade of pink… I wonder where he gets his foundation.
Can… Almost… Touch… His sweet… Russian… ass…
