The two greatest and most influential comic artists of all time.

Where was Barks? You could’ve had a Mount Rushmore almost…

Oh, I kinda knew that. I meant "you" in a more generic sense.

It’d be good to have a single image with Kirby, Adams, Barks and Eisner from that time.

Excellent read, which articulates with a bullseye accuracy and precision, unlike the work of fantasy Disney put out with it's Stan Lee doc. This quote in particular nails it:

'Lee’s self-promotion often gets chalked up to egotism. But there is an economic motive that is perhaps more important than his undeniable tendency to peacock. Lee joined Marvel Comics (then known as Timely) in 1939 at the tender age of 17. Starting as an office boy, he was elevated in less than two years to being an editor. The fact that he was related to publisher Martin Goodman (whose wife was Lee’s cousin) helped. But, beyond nepotism, Lee proved supremely useful to Goodman and future owners of Marvel because he stood as a shield against claims by freelancers. If Marvel could claim that Lee, as editor, was the creator of their work, then freelancers had no rights.'

The best of the best, from storytelling, to innovative page design, use of shadows and light, packaging books, comics formats (newspaper supplements, graphic novels, educational/training manuals, etc), etc.  this man was unique in the history of the medium.

For comic books, my Mt. Rushmore would likely be Eisner, Kirby, Barks, and Kurtzman. But in all honesty the Mt. Rushmore for newspaper cartoonists is more impressive and influential: McCay, Foster, Raymond, and Caniff/Sickles.
