    Default What is the most iconic Artist version of a Character?

    Which Artist's version of a character is the most iconic? It could be because he/she drew the character for so long, or because its simply the most recognizable version. Or maybe its the version you grew up on.

    If you have to pick one, who is it?

    Mark Bagley on Spider-Man, Adi Granov on Iron Man. No matter what suit or armor they're currently using, those are the versions in my head.

    DEFINITELY Neal Adams for Superman. I'd say Batman, too. Maybe Jim Lee for Batman, but I'm really kinda leaning Adams on it.

    First choice- Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez on just about any character that debuted prior to Crisis.
    Second choice- Jerry Ordway for Golden Age/Earth-2 characters and George Perez for everyone else.

    Yep. I was going to post exactly this. Except Kirby for the New Gods characters.

    Other than that:
    -- Jack Knight Starman - Tony Harris
    -- Deadman - Neal Adams
    -- Batwoman - JH Williams III
    -- Starfire - George Perez
    -- Harley Quinn - Amanda Conner
    -- Hawkman - Joe Kubert
    -- Flash - Carmine Infantino
    -- Death - Chris Bachalo

    Superboy = Grummett

    His Tim Drake is pretty definitive too, but Wieringo also did a great version.

    Hehe, I thought of this right away to be honest.




    Should have added Wildcat(s) into that last one:

    Neal Adams already has a few mentions but not for Green Lantern and Green Arrow.




    Ethan Van Sciver's look for Hal was pretty definitive though as well.

    Neal Adams and Jim Lee both equally iconic for bats IMO.
