Could we consider (and probably reject) the following:

 

Warren Kremer

John Stanley

Pete Morisi

Giordano

Ross Andru

Mort Drucker

Fred Ray (heck, why not if Maneely is listed in the SA when he died in 1958!!)

Russ Heath (please don't forget to include him or Troop's going to come down on your @$$!)

 

More as they pop up.

 

 

Heath is already on the list. Maneely was a guilty pleasure. He deserves to make some kind of list. Don't know Morisi's work (shrug)

You can add Marie Severin to the list.

 

Yeah, I thought about about adding her name but passed. Kinda like I did with Herb Trimpe & Sal Buscema. Nothing against them, but I didn't want the list to get too long. I asked this question in the GA Survivor thread: Do Adams & Buscema belong on the SA list?

 

Adams best body of work was bronze, but he did have a late silver age presence.

 

True, but the style we all know and love his artwork for did not arrive until his BA GL and Batman/Detective runs. The bulk of his SA work was for covers only, and the few stories he did do were fairly rough compared to his later work.

Which what I thought, but not being the most knowledgeable Adams guy out there I asked for opinions.

C'mon....Adams belongs on the list. He did like 10 zillion SA DC covers, and several interiors.

he shouldn't be on there for the same reason Wrightson shouldn't be there, nor should Frazetta. people will vote for the entire oeuvre of the artist, rather than his contributions during and only during the Silver Age. is Neal Adams really one of the top five - which is where i see him placing - artists of the Silver Age?

To me his definitely in the top 5. I was 6 and 7 years old when those Neal Adams Superboy and JLA and Detective and Batman covers were on the stands, but they were the books which I picked out. You are really short changing his work.

 

If Alex Schomburg can be in the top 3 in GA, then Neal Adams belongs at least in the top 3 in SA. Not only that Adams had quite a bit of work in the Silver Age, including X-Men & Strange Adventures.

Aparo's first work was in '66 with Charlton & BWS first work was in '67 or '68 on DD. So technically they did draw during the SA, albeit late in the SA (like Wrightson, et al).
