Which Creative Team Has The Longest Run?

[Boozad]

I was thinking earlier about which creative teams have the longest unbroken run on a title. By creative team I'm referring to writer/artist parings. The longest one I could think of off the top of my head was Ennis/Dillon on Preacher, standing at 66 issues plus one-shots and minis.

 

I have no idea whether any other creative team has dwarfed this run, but any info on this would be greatly appreciated solely out of curiosity (thumbs u

Im thinking Bendis and Bagley on USM 110 issues

[Mr.Diggler]

Yup.

[Guest Grails]

Sim/Gerhard on Cerebus #65 to 300 I believe.

[shiverbones]

Sim/Gerhard on Cerebus #65 to 300 I believe.

 

that would be my pick too.

[Mr.Diggler]

Didn't think of that one.

[Boozad]

Sim/Gerhard on Cerebus #65 to 300 I believe.

 

That's a ing big run. Did they contribute to other titles during that time or was Cerebus their exclusive title?

Just Cerebus.

[Ares]

I was thinking mainstream title but Cerebus wins I think

[dekeuk]

Didn't think of that one.

 

Never forget the Canadians

I read in my old Overstreet an article about the history of Daredevil. I think the Lee/Colan team was there for a very long run. Lee eventually left the book and Colan was still there.

 

 

 

 

[Forsythe P Jones]

Fantastic Four

 

Lee/Kirby 102 issues!

 

[Nexus]

For sheer page count: Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima on LONE WOLF AND CUB. They also worked together on other titles. Overall, they might be the most prolific team ever.

Too bad Marvel couldn't keep the Claremont/Byrne/Austin team on Uncanny back in the day...

 

*sigh*

Bendis/Bagley on USM is probably the winner in mainstream titles, with Lee/Kirby's FF not far behind. (thumbs u

[chrisco37]

Cerebus has the longest (both issue count and years).

 

Bendis/Bagley (I think) are second. This is issue count though, not years.

 

Stan/Jack on FF was long (in both count and years).

 

Also, the entire "creative team" of 100 Bullets had a 100 issue run (no bi-monthly issues or any "special" issues). I don't know the exact lenght of years, but I would say 8+.

 

Azzarello - writer

Risso - Artist

Johnson - cover artist

Mulvahill (sp?)- Colorist

Robins - Letterer

[HouseofComics.Com]

How many issues of Wonder Woman did Kanigher write in a row? And how many of those did he have the same artist? Or what was it, Paul S. Newman on Turok and Lone Ranger? Did he have the same artist for a long run.

 

Barks did about 250 issues of WDCS.

[RockMyAmadeus]

Well...if we consider solo creators...Cary Bates did over 13-14 years on the Flash and Peter David wrote 137 consecutive issues of the Hulk.

 

As far as creative teams, we've forgotten about Aragones and Evanier on Groo.

 

8 issues - Pacific

1 - Eclipse

120 - Marvel (Epic)

12 - Image

4 x 4 Dark Horse minis (at least0

25th Anniversary special

Death of Groo

Life of Groo

 

= well over 150 issues of Groo. Stan Sakai lettered almost all of them, and Tom Luth missed only about 20 of those issues as a colorist. So, same creative team for the whole book, I think they're second only to Sim and Gerhard.

[RockMyAmadeus]

Sure, it was published by every company under the sun, but it was the same book every time.
