Mazzucchelli's superhero output is small and enormously influential. Born Again and Batman: Year One taught a generation what restraint and empty space can carry, after which he left the genre for literary work including Asterios Polyp.

Frank Miller

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.

John Romita JrLegend

Artist, Comic Artist, Penciller

Romita builds figures from blocky, weighted shapes that land with real force. Across four decades he has drawn most of the Marvel line, from Amazing Spider-Man and Daredevil to Thor and Uncanny X-Men, plus Kick-Ass with Mark Millar and a run on Superman.

Marco ChecchettoMajor

Comic Artist, Cover Artist, Penciller

Checchetto builds real, lived-in environments and stages action inside them like a director. His Daredevil work has turned Hell's Kitchen into a specific place rather than a backdrop.

Andy Kubert

Andy KubertMajor

Comic Artist, Letterer, Penciller

Andy Kubert stages superhero stories like film, with wide establishing shots, clean sightlines and a steady build to the hit. He drew X-Men through the nineties, then Wolverine: Origin, Marvel 1602, Batman and Son and Flashpoint.

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.

Adam Kubert

Adam KubertMajor

Comic Artist, Penciller

Adam Kubert draws with thick, expressive line weight and a real feel for impact. His Wolverine and Hulk pages are bruising, and he has moved between Marvel and DC's biggest books for thirty years.
