Who do you think continues to create on a master level from the 60’s/70’s/80’s?

Good call. I was at  Joe's house last year and saw his most current inking on the Spider-Man Sunday strip. It's scratchier than the  '70s work, but not exactly diminished -- looks a lot like Silver Age Frank Giacoia. At the end of the day, he sat down drew Thor and Thing headshots - brilliantly.

Walt Simonson - Ragnarok his current series is excellent. He's been working steadily since 1973 and has had some great runs - Manhunter and Thor especially.

That’s great that you could be there. I think his last published work before retirement was on the Spider-Man strip.

What an absolute treasure he is!

Actually a terrific choice.

And an obvious one to me.

Simonson is the guy who always seems to come up in these debates as the guy who still has "it" at the age of 73.  Still dynamic and still prolific.  Having just turned 60 this year, I am more and more impressed by the guys who are still producing and still very relevant.  Gives me hope!

And since you said the 80's, Sienkiewicz is high on my list too.

[Chaz G.]

I'm tempted to say Near Adams but, other than a few variant covers, I haven't seen enough of his recent work to say how strong it is.

Definitely. And still getting better.

Neal just put out one of my favorite covers.

I said it for you.  But I think still doing great interior work is a huge factor. Not sure if Neal is doing that.

Neal Adams has been doing lots of interior work in recent years.  He is in the middle of a Batman/R'has Al Ghoul series right now.  Whatever one thinks of his current work, the guy puts out a ton of work at the age of 78.

That doesn't even account for all the commissions and sketches he does (and fast!).. and is at almost every show I see. I do not know how he does it.

Yeah, some of his commissions are amazing.

I think his page layouts are as strong, if not stronger, than his older stuff. I don’t think his line work is as good as it used to be, but they still carry a lot of heft.

Colleen Doran started in the 1980’s, I think, so she deserves a mention. Same with Tom Mandrake, who I consider under appreciated.
