Hulk

Spider-Man

Ghost Rider

Punisher

[FanboyStranger]

Thor-- Walt Simonson

Iron Man-- Layton/Micheline

Captain America-- Stern/Byrne (though this was the hardest one-- could have just as easily gone with Brubaker, Englehart, or Gruenwald)

Hulk-- Peter David

Spider-Man-- Ditko/Lee

Ghost Rider-- DeMatteis/Budiansky (almost went with "none")

Punisher-- Garth Ennis' MAX series

[Babylon23]

Thor: Lee/Kirby (126–177), Simonson (337 - 382)

Iron Man: the two Michelinie/Layton runs (116-157 and 215-250)

Captain America: Englehart/Buscema (153 - 186), Stern/Byrne (247 - 254), the first half of MArk Gruenwald's run (306 - 375)

Hulk: Peter David (331 - 467)

Spider-Man: Lee/Ditko/Romita Sr. (Amazing Fantasy 15, Spider-Man 1 - 100), Roger Stern/John Romita Jr. (224 - 252)

Can't really help with Ghost Rider or Punisher as I'm not really a fan of either character.
