Totally agree with you about Mike W. Barr. Barr's "Son of the Demon" is one of my favorites.

Cary Bates.

He's been one my favorites since his Legion of Superhero days. The only DC comic I ever bought consistently during my Marvel Zombie years.

He and Dave Cockrum were like magic on that book.

I very much enjoyed his recent Captain Atom. Where is Captain Atom since then?

I wonder why he doesn't get more work at DC.

rick veitch - almost impossible to follow alan moore on swampthing but rick did a great job (until wheels came off) - lots of humour mixed with moody trippy storylines with some incredible art. good stuff

Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti work on All Star Western was a pretty good run.

Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti work on All Star Western was a pretty good run.

I also enjoyed Palmiotti and Amanda Conner on Power Girl and Starfire, which I actually preferred a lot to their Harley book.

Yup, Gray & Palmiotti are ALWAYS worth a look.

Marc Andreyko is another one always worth a look at too.

Totally agree. Right before CoIE, Bates' run on "The Flash" was a most pleasant reading experience.

If I had to name a then-writer of comics back in the '70s, I almost certainly would have mentioned his name first. Bates definitely made an impression upon me.

Andreyko, yes!

I enjoyed his Black Lightning, Blue Devil mini series a few years back. I wish that series would have continued. The only time we saw Blue Devil after that was in Justice League when they were looking for new members.

Peter Milligan - hit and miss but shade, enigma, and extremist were all some of the very finest things Dc has published.

And of course Skreemer, The Human Target and a short run of classic single-issue stories in Detective Comics.

But yeah, he misses a fair amount too.

Forgot human target was DC. Another quality book.

Never read Skreemer but it sounds like I should. I shall look out for it. Good tip!

When he's on it he really is a top top tier writer for me.

Forgot human target was DC. Another quality book.

And I remember back when the Human Target was first introduced (1972) in a story written by Len Wein.
