Doughy Man. Great Buscema cover
Honorable Mentions:
Kirby101....almost used that Thing vs Hulk cover for the thread kick off.
Shalla Bal ....a lot of purists don't like Coletta inking Kirby but I've always liked that Thor vs Hercules cover.
Abe.....my favorite cover from Books of Doom with the foreshadowing of the Reed/Doom rivalry

Well, precious few could top Joe Sinnott when it came to inking Jack's pencils, but I thought Vince Colletta wasn't too bad. Originally Posted by Iron Maiden

Colletta is a controversial figure among Kirby fans. Whether people like his style on Kirby or not is a matter of taste. But the problem was that he used a lot of less able assistants, and primarily, he changed, simplified and left out things that Kirby penciled. There are articles around the web if anyone wants to read further and see examples. Originally Posted by WestPhillyPunisher

Since IM is probably hard at work, I counted the vote.
The clear winner with 5 votes is The Whovian with the wrap around Perez cover.
Congrats Who! The next contest is yours.There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

Joe is an all time great but he does tend to be dominant. Also, I liked the way Sue and the other female characters looked with Vince Colletta inking, probably because he spent a lot of years doing romance comics. Medusa was especially "glammed up" in this example. Colletta had a softer touch with faces, which sometimes looked harsh under Sinnott I think. Originally Posted by WestPhillyPunisher
Yeah, that was the problem with Colletta. A lot of companies used him because he made his deadlines and sometimes with a short window of time. This was crucial in the earlier times when if you missed your slot with the distributor you were in danger of losing it. That's why we would sometimes see reprints crop up here and there. The more jobs you got the more you made so there was a money factor too. Kirby was very generous about that and he knew that there was a lot of cutting corners to get things done. He knew that money was the issue when page rates were low. Originally Posted by Kirby101

Two examples, simplified backgrounds, missing figures. And does change the character of the page.
