Walt SimonsonLegend

Comic Artist, Penciller, Writer

Simonson breaks the page apart and rebuilds it: sound effects that double as design elements, panels tilting into each other, mythology drawn at full volume. His Thor is among the most imitated runs in superhero comics.

Adi GranovMajor

Comic Artist, Concept Artist, Cover Artist

Granov's Iron Man looks machined rather than drawn, with hard reflections and precisely engineered surfaces. Iron Man: Extremis set a visual template that carried through to the films, where he worked on concept design.

Andy Kubert

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.
