    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?

    It's a character with four different pretty equally iconic artist renderings, those being Kirby, Buscema, Lim, and Moebius. Can't go wrong with any of them.

    Pretty much this, although we differ with respect to Elektra (Frank Miller). As for Silver Surfer, for me it's John Buscema over Kirby. I know many choose Ron Lim here, but I never really took to Ron's version of SS or Nova (Frankie Raye).

    Lastly, add Ernie Chan for Conan.
