Best Artist
Whom do you consider the best comic-book artist ever, and why? My vote goes to Jack Kirby: the guy's drawings just radiated power. Funny thing, though, he had a lousy knowledge of anatomy. Still, his Silver Surfer and Thing (eg) are the best (IMHO).

I'm not that into artists so I don't know alot of them, but what I've seen of Alex Ross seems very very good.

I'm not big on Ross's painted style comics. It's great for an Epic and Iconic poster or cover or something like; just doesn't do it for me in a comic. I guess it isn't very "comicky".
That and a lot of the time he's painting another persons pencils anyway.
