Amazing Spider-Man #136 "The Green Goblin Lives Again"

[MegoSteve]

Michelangelo
Bernini
Caravaggio
da Vinci
Bouguereau

I always loved Caravaggio, but he could never keep up with a monthly schedule so his books were always late. Frustrating!

[bondtoddbond]

John Byrne (X-Men years)
Neal Adams (Batman years)
Alan Davis
Kevin Maguire
Brian Bolland (Judge Dredd years)

[Riffster]

Adam hughes- cover art alone
Carmine Infantino
Perez
Stephane Roux- love his Zatanna
Ethan van Sciver

[Dark Shadow]

I always loved Caravaggio, but he could never keep up with a monthly schedule so his books were always late. Frustrating!

There is that, and of course his propensity toward violence certainly didn't earn him much respect either. "You don't like my technique?...I kill you!!!"

[MIB41]

My top five are:

1) John Romita Sr.
2) Jack Kirby
3) John Buscema
4) Neal Adams
5) George Perez

[Brazoo]

samurainoir - The first one through me for a minute, because I've never seen Frank Cho draw that kind of fantasy stuff before - then the signature clued me in.

Then we have:
• Dave Stevens
• Adam Hughes
• I don't know this one (Travis ?)
• JOCO? Wikipedia tells me this is Richard Corben's work. I recognize Corben's work now that I googled him - but I didn't know him or this cover off-hand.

[PNGwynne]

I wil probably get teased for some of these choices, but (in no particular order):

-Gene Colon
-Don Newton
-Ramona Fradon
-Jim Aparo
-John Byrne

Really like Alex Ross, too--when he's not phoning it in.

Travis Charest

Cool - thanks! I never heard of him before.

I was waiting for samurai's list, because I knew he was going to come up with some surprises. Interesting that apart from him all the other guys on samurai's list are known for cheesecake - not that there's anything wrong with that

Y'know, that is really interesting given that I opted to try and post my list more on reflex rather than over thinking or before glancing at what every one else posted. it is really tough to whittle it down.

On another day might have posted Wally Wood, Frank Frazetta, Geof Darrow, Terry Moore and Möbius.
