hmm I almost agree but elevate JRJR to good if not high tier. Mezieres and Cooke to high tier. Frazetta didn't draw many comics or many great comics but he's probably my favourite illustrator of all time so I'll allow it.Frank Miller is God Tier in my world.
Where do you place >Dick Giordano>Carmine Infantino>Will Eisner>Jack K!rby>Curt Swan>Steve Ditko>Jerry Robinson>Robert CrumbI think Joe Kubert should be in Good Tier.
Yep you listed everyone who ever worked in comics good job spider man
Sorry just saw a few of these names>>7925640like Eisner and Ditko....>Joe MAD! is in Good Tier. I mean, I liked him...
>>7925620I also feel like Miller is a living legend, and even his 'sketches' are iconic simplifications.
>Dan DeCarlo>Peter Arno>Doug Sneyd>Carl Barks>Wally Wood>Krigstein>Roy Cranea lot of the other New Yorker and EC Comics and Playboy artists....
Lest We Forget the Great Canadians....pretty sure you can buy Hal Foster stamps here, although we don't invest in our Postal Service.
What about the early Newspaper Artists? Alex Raymond, George Herriman, etc.
GOD-tier is not complete without Toth
>I invented The Joker, you know...
This is based on what exactly? A lot of the list would change if your criteria includes their composition and panel work and it's not fair to others because of their predominantly comic strip format. Toddfather is always No.1, baby. A number those in Low, OK and Good should be moved 1 or 2 slots higher. Also, Darwyn > Bruce. Always.Missing Hal Foster, Bernie Wrightson, Steve Rude, Alex Toth and Glenn Fabry.
>>7925598God Tier or High Tier should also include Wally Wood and Sean Gordon Murphy as well. Sean's stuff on Batman White Knight was stylistically excellent and Wallace Wood draws some of my favorite comic book style women.

Why do people glaze Jack kirby?/beg/ expressions, proportions all over the place, bad perspective, ugly
>>7927071Personally, I love his character designs and how striking his panels are. He has had such a big influence on superhero comics that he pretty much defined that art style for years. His artwork must be viewed in the context of the era. Back then, he was the only one drawing like that.
