I actually got to hang out with Mr. Crain today. Every time I visit him I'm impressed with how he continues to focus on improving his abilities. He's working on some stuff for some boardies now that is fantastic.

And for similar reasons Adam chose Eastman I got to put David Lapham up there.

Jock, Jim Lee, Jae Lee, Ivan Reis. Finch.

 

Jock's an incredible artist, and while he's not my favorite, i appreciate the hell out of his work.

[plasticmoz]

It's a pretty hard question, because certain artists excel at specific kind of work, but in general given a reasonable body of work and overall consistency --

 

Jim Lee

Steve Epting

Gabriele Dell'otto

David Finch

Lee Bermejo

 

 

Edited to be as "Modern" as possible with this list, Clayton Crain is definitely one of my favorites but as far as a wide body of work he's not quite there yet but a tremendous talent (especially some of the things he's brought to the digital realm)

 

So many other amazing newer artists working these days, it's a good time to be a fan of the medium.

Michael Turner

Adam Hughes

Josh Howard

Jim Lee

Dan Jurgens for the reason Adam chose Eastman

 

[Ramses717]

My personal 5:

 

Greg Capullo

George Perez

Jim Lee

Brian Bolland

Ivan Reis

[Darrell F]

Dan Jurgens (my introduction to comics as a kid and just all around bad artist)

Michael Turner (one of the nicest guys you could have ever met as well as super talented)

Jim Lee

Ivan Reis

Graham Nolan

[Triston Pence]

1. Bernie Wrightson (eventhough he has been around for a while), he is the king in my book.

 

2. Jim Lee

 

3. Neal Adams (again been around for a while, but still one of the kings)

 

4. David Finch

 

5. J. Scott Campbell

 

Honorable Mentions: Art Adams, George Perez, Amanda Conner, Adam Hughes, and Mike Ploog.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Mark Bagley (for ASM and USM)

Jim Lee (for Batman)

Andy Kubert (for his 90's X-Men)

Adam Kubert (for his 90's Wolverine)

Gabrielle Dell'Otto (for pretty much everything he does, especially his covers)

 

Gonna steal the "Honorable Mentions" idea from Triston: David Finch, JG Jones, Mike Deodato, Alex Ross, Mauro Cascioli.

 

 

[Robvr6-migration]

1 Jim Lee (truely started my love for comic artwork)

 

2 David Finch (just love his lines)

 

3 John Byrne (taking modern as including the 80's)

 

4 Arthur Adams (again 80's there...)

 

5 Alex Ross
