Gibbons builds pages like clockwork. Watchmen's nine-panel grid, its repeating symbols and its buried visual rhymes are his architecture as much as anyone's, and the same control shows up in Give Me Liberty and his Green Lantern work.

Ivan ReisMajor

Comic Artist, Cover Artist, Penciller

Reis draws classical, clean-lined heroes and handles enormous casts without losing anyone in the crowd. Green Lantern, Blackest Night and Aquaman are where DC has leaned on him hardest.

Mike MignolaLegend

Comic Artist, Cover Artist, Writer

Mignola composes in flat black shapes, letting shadow do the work a dozen lines would elsewhere. That language, drawing on folklore and pulp, produced Hellboy and the whole B.P.R.D. universe built around it.

Frank MillerLegend

Comic Artist, Penciller, Writer

Miller writes and draws in hard shadow and clipped rhythm. His Daredevil brought crime-fiction structure into superhero comics, The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One recast Batman for a generation, and Sin City stripped the whole approach down to black-and-white noir.

Brian BollandLegend

Comic Artist, Cover Artist

Bolland's line is close to mechanical in its precision, every contour deliberate and every surface finished. The Killing Joke and his Judge Dredd work made his name, and his covers remain a reference point for how clean a comics image can be.

Marc Silvestri

Marc SilvestriLegend

Comic Artist, Inker, Penciller

Silvestri draws in sharp angles, whipping hair and tense wiry anatomy, a look that defined a stretch of Uncanny X-Men and Wolverine. He co-founded Image Comics and built Top Cow, home to Witchblade, Cyberforce and The Darkness.
