Your Top, (#1), Favorite Comic Book Artist of all time, and why in 1 sentence
Scarlet Pumpernickel:
Alex Toth. I love the way he develops each panel in relationship to the whole story, and his style is so simple and just perfect.
Yoc:
Excellent choices all.
Meskin, Toth and Powell are in my top five as well.
JonTheScanner:
Hmmm I guess I'll go with Al Williamson just based on art alone and because I like science fiction stories. But there are many others I like better on other types of stories.
crashryan:
I've wrestled with this. So many artists I like: Wood, Williamson, Toth, Evans, blah blah blah. But I think if I had to choose one, it'd be Milton Caniff on the pre-war (1935-1939) Terry and the Pirates. A combination of superb Sickles-influenced art and action-packed stories with great characteris and complex stories were a perfect mix.

Did Caniff ever really do any comic book art, though, rather than reprints of his comic strip work? (In no way arguing with the quality of his stuff, just wondering if he really qualifies as a "comic BOOK artist".)
