There might've already been a thread on this topic, but I'm too lazy to research it. As you know, I'm "Old School," so most of my favs are also, tho some recent talent has caught my eye.
Paul Gulacy- No one even comes close. In the old days his work was as close to computer-generated images as one could get. I used to pick up a book even if I did not like or know the title just for his art.
George Perez- Student of Jack Kirby and Rich Buckler, his ability and speed in creating surpassed even those two giants, and still does. He can cram more into one page than most artists can in a whole book. As with Gulacy, I'd buy a rag just for his name.
Pascual Ferry- Wonderful artist. Even in black & white, his impressionistic work is colorful. Excels at differing fighting styles.
Frank Miller- I used to have his first work done for Marvel (A Bronze-Plated "No-Prize" to whoever can guess what the title was!). His popularity was soon thereafter widespread and richly deserved. He singlehandedly brought Daredevil back from the dead, and no one needs reminded of what he did with Wolverine or Elektra. Very dark, captivating noir style.
Joe Madureira- Can blend the surreal and the frighteningly real in one panel and make you stare at it for days. Tends to use action blurs rather than "Swing-Lines" and pulls it off most effectively. Shades mostly in solids; very appealing to the eye.
Art Adams- The man was named for his profession. Style heavily influenced several later artists. Began his career at a young age. Another one that could fill one panel with an entire book.
Steranko- Short-lived career has caused most to overlook this great talent. Style quite like a cross btween Gulacy's and Miller's. Would love to have more of his work.
Another "No-Prize" to whomever can remind me of the name of the artist who years ago drew the 2-part annuals Thing/Avengers/Thanos treasures showing the death of Adam Warlock! A classic name in comics I'm ashamed to say Old-Timers has erased from my brain!
Remind me of some I missed, willya?
