Here's some of my favorite comic book artists of all time:
Jim Steranko
Joe Kubert
Steve Ditko
Walt Simonson
Jack Kirby
John Severin
George Perez
Bill Sienkiewicz
I haven't kept up with the comic book world in years and I know there are many new terrific artists out there who I am not familiar with but those listed above will always be among my favorites.
THE THUNDER FROG!!!!! Love this character and I totally agree with all your choices. You just can't beat a Kirby drawn comic and I wish Steranko had done more comic book stuff.
I'm keen on Barry Windsor-Smith, especially the last work he did on Conan, and John Byrne, who has a lot of very tall female characters and may be one of My People.
Doctor, This is a fun post. I don't usually like guy comic books, but now that I'm working hard on my own illustrations, I have come to appreciate the techniques of illustration, framing, and storytelling.
I hope you saw last week's New Yorker. They published a chapter from Robert Crumb's latest work: the Book of Genesis. It's fabulous.

[Shrek] I've always been a Kirby and Ditko fan...and Bill Sienkiewicz is very under rated.
What do you call a 6'6" fighting frog?
Ridiculous.
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
