Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time. Goethe
01. John Buscema
02. George Perez
03. Alan Davis
04. Gil Kane
05. John Byrne
John Buscema for his powerful drawings:
John Romita Jr for his elegant, graphic drawings, that reminds me Italian comic artists:
Did they make many pictures… What a work…

Agreed, Bill Sienkiewicz is a legend. His version of the Kingpin is always memorable:
