Did anyone really expect any less from Frank?
Seriously, did Superman for All Seasons set the bar for Clark's first year that much for quality that we now have to drop to lowest common denominator?

Miller, Neal Adams, even Liefeld to some extent, continue to get work based on their past reps even though their current output is really, really bad. Or in Liefeld's case, still really, really bad.

There's an old phrase that's gone around in the comic industry for a while. Even on the lower indie side of things where I dwell.
You will always get work if you meet two of three requirements: If you're good, if you're fast, and if you're friendly to work with.
From what I understand in Liefeld's case... When he's not distracted, he's fast and a pleasure to work with. Miller is fast and a joy to work with apparently... But both aren't exactly good. Neil Adams is a pain in the ass to work with, but he's fast and good. (Good-ish?) Steve Rude is a pain to work with, but the man is a goddamned god on the printed page, and he's quick to boot.
And like you said, a reputation will carry you a long, long ways. Despite burning too many bridges, Mark Millar or Chuck Austen could probably waltz right into Marvel offices and ask for a project if they wanted to, because of the popularity of their runs back in the early 00s.
