Top 20 Comic Book Artists Ever

The greatest comic book artist ever. He drew and contributed to the creation of as varied of comic books as Fantastic Four, Captain America, the Incredible Hulk, the Mighty Thor, the Avengers, X-Men, Black Panther, the Eternals, Kamandi, Challengers of the Unknown, the Demon, and O.M.A.C. He also single-handedly created the massive comic book odyssey, the Fourth World.

One of comics' great all around storytellers, Barks had a long and successful career doing one of the toughest things of all: entertaining children and adults with the same stories. Along the way he created some wonderful and enduring characters, not the least of which is the inimitable Uncle Scrooge, Gyro Gearloose, Magica De Spell, Gladstone Gander. He was the top Disneyx artist of his time and today is still regarded as the grestest Duck artists by most modern Artists and Fans, ranging from Giorgio Cavazanno to Don Rosa.

THE most consistent Artist of all time. Unlike most other artists who hit a peak and then decline, Curts work is great from his first ever superman story in 49 up to the one page he pencilled for the superman wedding album in 96, he drew the man of Steel troughout 5 decades, gave him his classic look and whenever a fellow JLA Member showed up you could see how easily he could have changed to another strip. He's one of the few Artists who NEVER worked with Marvel (kinda like one of his admirers Alan Moore), despite Stan trying to get DCs house style workhorse over to them quite often in the 60s. He was also a nice human being, once saying: "I get more enjoyment out of seeing a young one's smiling face staring into a comic book that I drew than I could possibly get out of having all of the money, praise and accolades in the world." His drawing inspired Chris Reeves Superman, other Admirers of him are longtime Collaborators Julius Schwartz (the man who singlehandeldy invented the silver age), Denny O'Neil who revamped with him Superman in the early 70s, longtime Writers Elliot S Maggin and Otto Binder and many more. He really is the Norman Rockwell of Comics. An underrated legend whose name i spell in the same sentence as others might say jack Kirby or Steve Ditko. Anohter one of his trademarks was his realistic style and his perfect craft over facial expressions (while others, even Kirby, only had about 3 faces), read anything from his long career and see how realistic it looks quite in the vein of Neal Adams, especially when he worked with denny together and waqs inked by Murphy Anderson he excelled even moore in the realistic department.

At his prime one of the most sought after artists .his work on X-Men lead to the groups popularity.

A man whose bibliography is as long as a comic book. He has worked on Crisis on Infinite Earths, Avengers, Teen Titans, JLA/Avengers, Fantastic Four, and Wonder Woman. He is known for his very ornate and dynamic style and is responsible for much of the popularity of comic books in the 1980s.
