Just watching the CBR interview with Todd McFarlane, I'm reminded how I loved his art and Erik Larsen's. To this day, these two are still my favorites. Some of the current ones and recently departed are up at the top of my list, but when I started reading comics, Spidey in particular, it was in the late 80's/early 90's, so I have a special place for Todd and Erik from then.
My favorites outside of Todd and Erik:
Camuncoli
Stegman
Caselli
Ramos
Romita Jr
Leonardi (2099)
Sliney (2099)
Ron Frenz from the symbiote stuff
John Byrne if only for the cover of PP:SSM 101
Romita Sr. - Maybe the quintessential Spidey artist?
What do you guys think? How do you feel about Todd and Erik? Any other artists that really moved you?

McFarlane's early ASM stuff was good. But it started to get too busy as time went on. Too much ink on the page. And I'll never entirely forgive him for giving Mary Jane 80s hair.
My favorite is probably Romita, Sr.
Also really like Romita, Jr., Ross Andru, Mark Bagley, Sara Pichelli, Humberto Ramos.
Wouldn't mind seeing some more Chris Bachalo work on Spider-Man either. And curious to see how McGuinness's work will look in the Spidey/Deadpool book.

My favorite combo is Gil Kane on pencils and John Romita on inks.

The Spider-Man comics are really lucky to have Ditko and Romita Sr. as the first artists.
I really can't pick between the two.Sincerely,
Thomas Mets
