Legendary Runs

[Toz]

Starlin's run on Warlock(mentioned previously) and add his Tour de Force Dreadstar,all the way from Epic Illustrated #1.

 

Baron & Rude's Nexus

Avengers from around #50-200(remember the great Perez run?)

Bushmiller's Fritzi Ritz

 

So much comic goodness,too few brain cells left to remember them all.

[Norrin_Radd]

Sound off like you've got a pair!

BARKS DUCKS, SIR!

[Comicopolis]

Ennis' Hellblazer's

 

[Comicopolis]

Preacher. The whole series was great.

 

Good call.

 

Great call.

[Comicopolis]

Byrne - X-Men

 

Blam!

 

Double blam!!

[Comicopolis]

Montezuma - Revenge

 

Not to be contrary, but I thought that was work.

 

 

It was the inspiration for TDKR.

[Ken Aldred]

Will Eisner = The Spirit, 1946 onwards

Johnny Craig = Crime SuspenStories

Sorry, but CSS is an also-ran compared to Johnny Craig's Vault of Horror run. The BEST EC title.

Easily one of the greatest crime / horror artists, and an excellent writer as well. Some of Craig's work at EC is on par with Eisner, really quite brilliant.

 

[paperheart]

great lists, i would second or third these:

 

Miller-Daredevil, DKR

Alan Moore- Watchmen, Swamp Thing

Ennis- Preacher, Punisher

Ellis- Transmetropolitan, Planetary/Authority

Aparo/Fleischer (?)- Spectre in Adv.

Simonson/Goodwin- Manhunter in Tec

Byrne- X-Men, FF

Englehart- Cap

Sacrilege! Crime Suspenstories is THE BEST EC title!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, what the hell. I like them both (almost) equally. Johnny Craig was a freakin' genius!!!

gaimen sandman

I was just about to post that, having demolished a Chorizo, spicy pepper and bolognese pizza, along with twelve Coronas so far...I think I'm in with a shot.

Shot hell. I predict a blow out complete with porcelain shrapnel.

Thankfully someone finally mention Carl Barks. Those have already stood the test of time.

 

I'd add Harvey Kurtzman and his work in Frontline Combat - there's some extraordinarily powerful stories there.

 

Walt Kelly's work for Dell was fabulous too. Pogo was better as a strip than a comic but some of his work on Christmas and Fairy Tale issues is up there with the best.
