The Rev mentioned that 100 lists were a lost art-NAH! Here's a new one!
I'll start!

1. JACK (King) KIRBY!

The first artist ever for Capt.America,the Fantastic Four,the Hulk,the X-Men,Thor,the Avengers,Sgt.Fury,the Inhumans,the Eternals,Machine Man,Devil Dinosaur,Boy Commandos,Kamandi,Omac-too many too list!
All Jack's art looks like it's made of rock and steel...and crackling with electricity! Cinematic!

2. NEAL ADAMS (helped make DC great in 60s and 70s and Batman, Superman, Green Arrow and Green Lantern rarely ever looked better) - a fantastic artist!!

4. JACK DAVIS-
Not only was he an icon of EC's horror line of comics,but a classic artist of MAD. Beyond that-he worked for TV Guide-did movie posters,ads,bubble gum cards. His art is easily recognizable. Jack Davis was a CLASSIC!!!

7. WILL EISNER
Mr.Eisner invented the modern comic art style-and surpassed it! Back in the 40's when Superman and Batman were stiff charecters-Will was doing the SPIRIT-and changing comic art history,

So many people I could bring up. I am literally chomping at the bit to bring up John Severin. But if we are talking about historical importance, I am surprised that nobody has brought up...

9. Steve Ditko







Ditko is what you may call a bit eccentric. Kind of a guy who never met a Ayn Rand tract he didn't like. But Marvel Comics would be nothing without this guy. Integral to so many superhero franchises he helped create.

Plus, it's hard to find a guy more eccentric than Kirby. It's amazing Marvel worked so well with the "interesting" talent they had.

10. Alex Ross

I'm surprise he wasn't brought up sooner.  The good is so good, they had to retire an award for painted covers because he was winning every single one of them every year.  He is awesome.

11. Basil Wolverton!

Most know Basil's work from his early MAD stuff...or his covers for DC's PLOP!. But few realize that he also did some fantastic work for independent companies horror and sci fi titles...AND his illustrated version of the Bible (yes-the BIBLE!) is nightmare inducing!





from his illustraded Bible!-






I think his style -along with Will Eisner-influnced my own work...


No where as good,of course.

Just a quick question. Who did the original covers for Famous Monsters? They look awesome.

Most of them were done by the  GREAT Basil Gogos! He's still doing art! He did a cover for the comic book _BELA LUGOSI'S TALES FROM THE GRAVE!

12. JOHN ROMITA SR. (did brilliant work on Spider-Man and actually successfully followed Steve Ditko). His art helped bring to life some of the best stories I ever read (some of them albeit in reprint form).

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
