Which comic book artist ?
Well...
For pencils, I'd probably go with Cassady (oh god, forgot his first name) or Mark Brooks. Inks, I'm indifferent. Colors, either Frank D'Armada or Dan Kemp.
I would say my main three would be:
Jim Lee (-1 point on the geekness meter )
Jack Kirby
Bob Layton
Lee draws?
Yeah, silly TA! Stan Lee's the writer!!! The Lee that draws is Jim Lee...who was the creator of Wild Cats and a few other things.
lol I meant Jim Lee!
Frank Cho
John Romita Jr.
Mike Weiringo.
Barry Windsor Smith
John Buscema (unfortunately no longer with us)
Michael Turner
Wally Wood
Jim Steranko
Jack Kirby
(the order above is NOT significant)
Dale Keown
Jim Lee
Rick Leonardi
John Watson
Billy Tan
Greg Land
Arthur Adams
Michael Turner
Michael Golden

Kirby
CB
Kirby
Layton
and for my way out of left field pick...
Big Daddy Roth (deceased, I know)
"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."
I know I've already picked, and I stand by my choices (living and dead) - but I was thinkin' ... I could've gone a totally different way:
Milton "Milt" Caniff - 'Steve Canyon' Creator
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imageragonlady.jpg
Elzie C. Segar - 'Popeye' creator
http://lambiek.net/artists/s/segar.htm
Chester Gould - 'Dick Tracy' creator
http://www.chestergould.org/navigation/home.html
Charles "Chic" Young - 'Blondie' creator
http://www.blondie.com/
Jean "Mobius" Giraud - French comic book artist

Hergé (Georges Remi) - 'Tin Tin' creator
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:TintinCast.gif
Right off the bat I have to agree with Spino and say Stuart Immonen. I've become a fan of him via Nextwave and his style'd work grand with my characters.
Amanda Connor http://www.amandaconner.com/ is another great artist. Ever since I saw her work in JSA Classified I was hooked =D
For the third, it's a coin toss between Jimmy Lee and Mike Mingola. Lee is the king of classic 90's action, while Mike has that simple and unique style of his.

Gee, which comic do I own the most of?

"If I had any dignity, that would have been humiliating" --- Adam Savage
Virtue Server: Kheprera, Malefic Elf, Lady Omen, Night Rune, La Muerte Roja, Scarab Lafayette, Serena Ravensong, Kyrse, and Arachnavoodoo among others.
Well, I love Jim Lee, Micheal Turner and Frank Cho, but all of them have been mentioned on or more times. I gotta be different.
Ed Benes!!!
I mean does this not look like Britannia on vacation?!
I would love to see Kilo drawn by the following:
Jack King Kirby
Dale Keown
Eric Larsen
Claire Wendling, Chris Bachalo, Humberto Ramos :3
Jim Lee
Steve McNiven
Cary Nord
if i actually made female toons Cho would be in there instead of nord
first of all.. great thread, Spinomania!
off the top of my head, my three choices are:
Bill Sienkiewicz
Alex Ross
Jean "Moebius" Giraud
i'm sure i could come up with others, such as Frank Miller or Dave McKean, which would be awesome as well.. but, i'll stick with my choices for now...
My first MA: It's a No Good day. (Arc ID: 92684)
