Ken Aldred Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, Sal said: Also, do I consider people who have small contributions to the genre but who have excelled elsewhere? Hal Foster has one original cover credit but his Prince Valiant work can and does go up against anything done by anyone. Exactly why I left out one of my all-time greats, Milton Caniff. In previous threads I've been contradicted for including him because, like Foster, he was in the newspaper strip field, despite being incredibly influential on many top comic book artists. To me, the format doesn't matter. Edited January 17, 2019 by Ken Aldred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBRobin Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 So many people mentioning "Romita" and not clarifying jr or sr. I would assume it goes without saying that it is Sr. but you never know. Please let me know when there is a thread for top ten least favorite artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
