Your favorite DC Artists

[Miraclo__Pill]

Good ol' Frank is crazy as a goat. But he sure could draw the hell out of a comic.

Anyway, when I think DC I usually think Garcia Lopez and DC Comics Presents. He is the cornerstone on which WB build the DC merchandising. From toys to sneakers. Lunchboxes and tshirts. But if we go favorite artists I can't go without naming Joe Kubert. The level of his craft puts him right up there with Will Eisner and Jack Kirby in the history of american comic book.

Of the artists currently working for DC I think Reis, Janin, Mankhe, Saiz, Sorrentino, Chiang are the names that come to mind. Amazing how Capullo has evolved in Batman. Pat Gleason I like a lot. And the Multiversity line up even if they are not exclusive. Chris Sprouse, Karl Story, Ben Oliver, Frank Quitely, Cameron Stewart... they are awesome on their own right. And finally, Kuder is killing it in Action.

PS: Soft spot for Jae Lee. When he's on he's ON.

So many great artists. Some of my favorites include:

Jose Luis Garcia Lopez
Neal Adams
Curt Swan
Greg Capullo
Francis Manapul
Ivan Reis
Alex Ross

It was Garcia Lopez and Adams who really got me into comics as a kid. Their art is staggeringly brilliant. I could still spend hours just browsing through their work with a huge smile on my face.

I like Neal Adams' work back in then. Also enjoyed Alex Ross' work in Kingdom Come. It seemed like every panel is a great work of art.

[Jon-El]

Tough one for me because I'm more of an art guy than a writer guy.

Neal Adams
Curt Swan
Marshall Rogers
Jose Luis Garcia Lopez
Dick Dillin
Jim Aparo
George Perez
Bernie Wrightson
Alex Ross

Those are the top guys for me. Just missing the cut: Ordway, Grell, Newton, & Infantino.

[Dr. Cheesesteak]

Nice to update this... I could probably list a few dozen (especially considering those having yet to make their debut), but I'll try to limit myself to my sentimental top tier current artists...:

Gray Frank
Andy Kubert
Mikel Janin
Babs Tarr
Emanuela Lupacchino
Kenneth Rocafort
Doug Mahnke

[Hawkman]

My favorite contemporary artists would be Joe Bennett, Rags Morales, Dale Eaglesham, and Ethan Van Sciver. I also really like Marco Checchetto but he has, to my knowledge at least, never worked for DC.

All-time gets a bit trickier to pin down, but Joe Kubert is definitely near the top.

[The Darknight Detective]

Neal Adams will always be my favorite due to a combination of artistic excellence and nostalgia, but I think Nicola Scott is as good as anybody has ever been at DC.

[Mike]

My top two:
Jim Aparo
Jose Luis Garcia Lopez

[Nick Miller]

Capullo
Manhke (the BEST Wonder Woman ever)
Burnham
Quitely
Risso
Patrick Gleason, (best Green Lantern artist ever)
John Romita jr
Manapul
Jim Lee



A real SHAME DC let Sorrentino go to Marvel. WHo is running this company?

I just got back into DC last October thanks to Batgirl and Gotham Academy, and I do really like the artists that worked on both those comics.
I would say my favorite DC artists are:

Bruce Timm
Becky Cloonan [Gotham Academy variant cover artist]
Rick Burchett [artist for the animated Batman comics]
Karl Kerchl
Babs Tarr
Emanuela Lupacchino

I haven't read too many DC comics, so I'm only really familiar with most DC artists by name only, and haven't actually read most of their works.

Alex Ross... mainly because the first comic book i got as a kid was Superman: Peace on Earth and it BLEW MY MIND.

Also i REAAALLY love:

Ivan Reis
Doug Mahnke
Gary Frank
Dustin Nguyen
Patrick Gleason
Jae Lee
Andrea Sorrentino
Tony Daniel
Ben Oliver (most underrated artist IMHO)
Karl Kerschl (even though i'm not reading Gotham Academy, his art is absolutely fantastic).

New favorite talent for me is Jason Fabok. Absolutely Outstanding work in JL.
