Ryan OttleyMajor

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.

Humberto RamosMajor

Comic Artist, Cover Artist, Penciller

Ramos stretches anatomy the way animation does: long limbs, enormous expressions, motion pushed past what a body could actually do. It suits Spider-Man exactly, which is where he has spent much of the last two decades.

Erik LarsenLegend

Cartoonist, Comic Artist, Writer

Larsen draws with a cartoonist's looseness and a superfan's affection for old Marvel. He followed McFarlane onto Amazing Spider-Man, then co-founded Image and has written and drawn Savage Dragon almost single-handedly ever since.

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.

Next: L.A. Comic Con, Oct 30 to Nov 1, 2026

Arthur AdamsLegend

Comic Artist, Cover Artist, Penciller

Adams packs more detail into a panel than seems reasonable, every scale and rivet accounted for, with a monster-movie enthusiasm running underneath. Longshot and his X-Men work made him a favourite, and his covers are recognisable across a room.

Mark BagleyMajor

Comic Artist, Penciller

Bagley is one of the most dependable storytellers in the business: clean staging, legible action, month after month without slipping. He drew Amazing Spider-Man for years, then more than a hundred issues of Ultimate Spider-Man.
