Just looking through some slabs for sale and noticed one name that we forgot.

Not sure if I may have missed it, but did anyone mention Sal Buscema for the most cover pencils and/or inks? Name just about any Marvel title in the Bronze Age, and Sal probably did some covers for it.

 

Yes, Sal is already on the pencil list for Marvel. (thumbs u

Added Bob McLeod with 94 Marvel covers and Kurt Schaffenberger with 67 DC covers. Thanks to the boardies for these suggestions.

 

The lists below count the covers penciled by each artist. The bold entries are additions to my original lists suggested by boardies, or some that I thought of after the original lists.

 

Who have we forgotten? Any more prolific BA cover pencil artists we have ignored?

Hey Prodigy, please add John Byrne to Marvel inkers! :baiting:

 

There must be some DC inkers we have forgotten. Our list is pretty short compared to the Marvel list. Who's missing, guys?

Ernie Chua = Ernie Chan. Same guy. :makepoint:

 

doh! I wished I could claim I didn't see his name but I never realized that.

 

lol

 

It apparently was an immigration thing from the Philippines. The US incorrectly wrote down Chua on the papers and made him work under that name until he could get it cleared up officially. Then he went by Chan.

I'm glad to see this thread is still alive!

 

I've added John Byrne to the Marvel list and Tony DeZuniga to the the DC list. I show Leopoldo Duranona only inking 3 covers and Nestor Redondo inking 13 covers and so didn't add them to the list based on their low numbers.
