Kirby in the 40s had nowhere near the impact he had in the 60s (eventhough he co-created Cap). He was drawing: Fantastic Four Journey into Mystery Tales of Suspense X-Men Avengers Strange Tales Sgt. Fury Some almost all simultaneously. While also doing a ton of covers at the same time. He did the cover to the most famous Marvel book of all-time AF15 cause the Editor thought the one Ditko drew was spoon. He doesn't get enough credit cause Stan Lee took it all from his artists and co-creators (same boat Ditko was put in).

I’m in awe of how great the cover to AF 15 is. The very first time a character appears, and already perfectly polished.

Ken Aldred Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Difficult to choose. For example, in one sense Milton Caniff would work for Golden Age / 1940s, as his style was extremely influential on many artists during that period, such as Toth, Kubert, Infantino, Elias, Robbins.

D2 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Honestly. I can’t. I tried doing this. I spent 10 minutes writing, and revising, and editing. But it doesn’t feel right. There are just too many artists that I have such a tremendous respect for, that had such a powerful influence on me. It feels wrong for leaving them out. I decline.

Yup. I got dragged down thinking about the standout, most influential creator from each decade. Especially difficult at the beginning and end; 40s, 50s and moderns.

In the 80s alone, there’s Byrne right at 79-81, Miller in 82-86, Mazzucchelli… Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane, and Barry Windsor-Smith… all within 10 to 12 years alone.

I also know I’m ignoring other… Silvestri, Sienkiewicz… I do feel you. I was vacillating between Byrne and Perez for the 80s. I'm a huge Byrne fan. Byrne had X-Men, FF, and my personal favorite Superman. But I looked at Perez' body of work with New Teen Titans (which was outselling X-men at one point) COIE, Wonder Woman and his technical skill and pushed him a smidge above Byrne. Frank Miller I enjoyed for his writing more than his art. D2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Miller I enjoyed for his writing more than his art. Perez was fantastic, and the only reason I picked up a DC title at all at the time ( until Byrne jumped over). That Titans run was amazing. Can’t put Perez ahead of Byrne though. Even ignoring X-men, his FF run is next level. He did everything ( except colouring/lettering ), and handled Marvel’s 1st family like a champ. I think as already said, it’s better to not decide. So much good stuff in the 80s D2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
