I wouldn't call Frazetta "distinctive" as there are are several others that drew in his style. Lou Fine and Al Williamson come to mind off the top of my head. But damn, what a draftsman and one of my favorites!

To me he is distinctive. The first time I saw a scan of this comic years ago I knew who drew it.  (Looked it up to make sure.)

You all have nailed most of the big ones, my favorites being Schomburg, LB Cole, and Lou Fine.  But you've left out my other big favorite, Creig Flessel.  His early DC covers are so visually arresting.   I have a hard time passing those issues up when they come available.

OK, just for you Jimmers. William Ekgren did only 3 comic book covers but they are about as distinctive as they come. The last one is full of Freudian imagery...

Out of the three, I like this one the best. Really like the composition and the Native American undertones. Very rarely seen up for sale compared to the other two...:frown:

Looked at close up, the technique is a bit overwhelming.  I’ve just had a look at a very small image on my phone, which makes everything merge together, and it’s actually excellent work.

An educational thread, as well.

Other GA artists deserving mention:

Jack Binder was an accomplished artist with an eye for detail and an identifiable style...

Also Ruben Moreira (Rubimor) whose shadow, composition and faces are pretty distinctive...

Since GA art extends to more than comics of the era I'd be remiss failing to mention George Rozen...

Several of Rozen's pulp covers were reprinted on early Shadow Comics, so his art was featured there as well! (thumbsu
