    Top Five Writers
    1. William Moulton Marston
    2. Roy Thomas
    3. Trina Robbins
    4. Kurt Busiek
    5. Gail Simone

    Top Five Artists
    1. Harry G. Peter
    2. Trina Robbins
    3. Ross Andru
    4. Jose Delbo
    5. Dick Giordano

    Worst Writer: John Byrne

    No other writer stands out as being bad enough for this category.

    And I can't think of any Wonder Woman artist who's really bad enough for such a designation, though I am tempted to mention Deodato.

    These are supposed to be Wonder Woman writers and artists; when did J.H. Williams work on Wonder Woman?

    He wrote a very strong and fierce Diana in his Batwoman book. He has never worked on Wonder Woman's title though.

    +1 The inclusion of Roy Thomas. Loved his efforts on the book.

    The worst artist is by far the current one at Wonder Woman title, when I first saw the ridiculous art 2-3 years ago I though it was a bad joke!

    Top writers:

    1. Wm. Marston
    2. Roy Thomas
    3. Geo. Perez
    4. Phil Jimenez
    5. Bob Kanigher

    Top artists:

    1. Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez
    2. Ross Andru
    3. Harry Peter
    4. Nicola Scott
    5. Ed Benes

    Worst writer:

    With Azzarello, the real issue is whether he actually counts. I don't find his take on her mythos or her world to be a good faith attempt at representing Wonder Woman or her world. Rather like Frank Miller's Wonder Woman, it seems an insincere or hostile parody.

    0. Brian Azzarello, Frank Miller
    1. JMS
    2. Greg Rucka
    3. Alan Heinberg
    4. John Byrne
    5. Walt Simonson

    Worst artists:

    1. Jill Thompson
    2. Lee Moder
    3. Tony Akins
    4. Gene Colan
    5. Jack Kirby

    Thompson, Colan, and Kirby are great artists who have drawn things I've enjoyed, but for several reasons were utterly wrong for Wonder Woman. Kirby's representations of Diana in the Superfriends comics he drew towards the end of his career are not easy on the eyes.
