COMIC BOOK ARTISTS : THE COUNTDOWN
Time for a list.
Sometimes only a list will fill the void of creative ennui, so here's one that places my favourite comic book artists into some sort of rough order.
Hope you enjoy/agree/disagree whatever takes your fancy.
1. Eduardo Risso- Everything he touches is dynamically subtle
2. Jack Kirby -put simply; The King
3. Barry Windsor-Smith - The Pre-Raphaelite of the comic world 
5. Frank Quitely- Detailed observations and composition from the quiet Scot
4. Jaime Hernandez-Master of controlled panel story telling
6. Paul Gulacy-Master of Spys, guns and girls
7. Frank Miller-On his day the most innovative artist since Moebius
8. John Buscema-The Mr Reliable of action
9. John Byrne - The most scanable artist in the buisness
10. Uderzo / Hergé - Hard to separate these masters of story telling, but they both played a key part in my love of reading and sequential art
Honourable mention- Has to be Steve Ditko, a reclusive character with a unique vision.
Of Course there are many more that I could have mentioned, Wally Wood, Jim Steranko, John Byrne, John Bolton, Joe Kubert, Alfredo Alcala, Jim Lee, Bill Sienkiewicz, Frank Frazetta, Neal Adams, Dave Gibbons, Alex Nino, John Romita, Kurt Swan, the list is endless but I've restricted it to my 10 favourites...today.
