Gil Kane

Ross Andru

Steve Ditko

John Romita

These are not ranked in any way.

I’m seconding this.

McFarlane being the newbie who came along and spray painted something awesome on these guys on the mountain tho.

Ditko, Romita, Arthur Adams, Alex Ross

Ditko, Romita Sr, and McFarlane are a lock for obvious reasons. But I am making a nomination for Bagley in the modern era. Ultimate was a huge, unbroken run that brought in a whole generation of new readers.

Also penciled the first Miles Morales cover. Pretty cool claim to fame. 

[J.Sid]

Ditko

Romita

McFarlane

......and Bagley!  

 

I work in a creative field in LA, and I'm shocked at how many younger people know and love Bagley. Often times he is the only Spidey artist they know by name. Between ASM and USM, he was the Spider-Voice of a very very large generation.

~60 issues of ASM, 111 of USM, some Venom and other Spidey adjacent stuff...

Those are good long runs! How could you not?!

Yes.

[zhamlau]

1. Ditko

2. Romita

3. McFarlane

4. Bagley

[fmaz]

In no particular order...

Andru...

Bagley

Romita Sr

and Ditko

(none to show because I feel my current choice would be a) buy a Ditko Spidey page or b) remain married and NOT sell our home. Call me crazy but I'm going with B.  But he's still the 4th head on my Mt. Rushmore)

FYI, anyone who puts more than four artists on their "Mt. Rushmore" is kinda cheating.  LOL

If, however, we are allowed to cheat?

Kane would take my 5th spot

What's everyone's favorite penciller/inker combo on ASM? I'd take Kane pencils/Romita inks every time.

MT. RUSHMORE

STEVE DITKO--- JOHN ROMITA SR.--- MARK BAGLEY--- TODD MCFARLANE

Honarable mention Charles Vess his limited contribution left such an impression on me that it's hard not to elevate him.

Bagley broke Kirby's record for most consecutive issues of a single (non-self published) title penciled. That's a gigantic deal for any generation of comic or artist.

struggle for right terminology..it's real.
