    Of course I respect you opinion—as I respect all differing opinions—but even among the other artists who drew for EC (as Kamen occasionally did), Al Feldstein, Wally Wood, and Graham Ingels were all several orders of magnitude better at producing GGA than Kamen.

    Dan Zolnerowich, Alex Schomburg, and Maurice Whitman all produced better GGA than Kamen ever thought about producing.

    Kamen wouldn't even make my top twenty. His female figures only had two facial expressions:

    1) angrily constipated and 2) a look of surprise and confusion as if someone had just poked them in the butthole with popsicle.

    All great artists mentioned above but I also rank Kamen among the top 5 good girl artists.  Some of my Kamen favorites include:

    All Top 10

    Blue Beetle 49, 54

    Zoot 11

    I also believe he did the Phantom Lady 16 cover which is also one of my favorites. 

    But he did have a stiffness in some of his covers and he certainly didn't have the natural free-flowing artistry of a Baker for sure.
