Your All-Time Top 5 (or more) Favorite DC Artists

Just to make you happy:

Much obliged!

As awesome as he was, did he have an iconic run on a title?

He created the style guide that DC used for almost all merchandise in the early '80s. Arguably DC as a whole is his iconic run.

Yas!
José Luis García López may not be the "first" name associated with DC art as a whole, but to me, he is the well from which all the DC artists that followed him sprung, stylistically speaking.

Speaking of which, from all the names that I eternally associate with "DC Comics art," my five faves (in no particular order) will always be:

• José Luis García López

• Jill Thompson

• George Pérez

• Cary Bates

• Jim Aparo

My favorites are:

George Perez - The New Teen Titans
Francis Manapul - Adventure Comics
Dan Mora - The World's Finest
Bruno Redondo - Nightwing
Ivan Reis - Green Lantern

I also love me some Scott Kolins (Flash), Jorge Jimenez(Justice League), Frank Quitely (Batman and Robin/All-Star Superman), Gary Frank (Superman) and Todd Nauck (Young Justice).

Action Comics, DC Comics Presents, Atari Force, The New Teen Titans, etc... And various specials. Due to his high demand for the comercial area, he mostly limited himself to covers, occasional issues and small arcs, however, his body of work is actually much larger than most people believe.

• Jim Aparo

Jim Aparo is another master who, IMHO, doesn't get the recognition he deserves.

Phil Jiminez was pretty incredible on Wonder Woman as well.

He always does in every one of my posts.

In agreement with the majority, Dan Mora is truly becoming legendary (IMHO):
