There's no way I could rank these lists, other than to put JB and Kirby
as 1A & 1B as favorite artists...

WRITERS
Byrne
Stan Lee
Jack Kirby
Frank Miller
Will Eisner
Dave Sim
Marv Wolfman
Jim Starlin
Alan Moore
Walt Simonson

ARTISTS
John Byrne
Jack Kirby
Terry Moore
Jim Starlin
George Perez
Wally Wood
Jim Steranko
Howard Chaykin
Frank Miller
Walt Simonson

Kind of interesting that I have so many on both lists... I probably
could have put Terry Moore and Dave Sim on both as well. I have a
hard time with lists like this... I always feel like I'm forgetting someone!

I can't bring myself to participate in listings like this. I find myself thinking of all those Superman and all those Batman stories that thrilled me as a child, and which were written by folks whose names we do not know, in many cases, even today.

Neal Adams

Jack Kirby
John Byrne
Jim Starlin
George Perez
Jim Steranko
Al Williamson
John Buscema
Frank Miller (up to the mid 1980's)

And now I'm out of room for artists?  This isn't fair.  Nope.  Impossible.

Is it crazy to think that even now, it would be possible for my all-time favorite writer (Stan Lee) to do a book with my all-time favorite artist (Neal Adams)?  
But as far as I am aware, this coupling has never occurred.  Has it?

This just felt wrong, especially in the artist list. There were so many great artists I had to drop just to narrow down to 10.

And I realized a great injustice. I don't even know if I have ever read a Stan Lee story. That can't be, can it? So guess what my next mission will be....

EDIT: Mine are listed top to bottom. Top being more fav.

Writers
John Byrne
Jim Shooter
Roy Thomas
Steve Englehart
Jim Starlin
Marv Wolfman
Kurt Busiek
Peter David
Frank Miller
Alan Moore

Artists
John Byrne
Alan Davis
George Perez
John Buscema
Barry Windsor-Smith
Bart Sears
Jack Kirby
Walt Simonson
Dale Keown
Joe Mad

I see some names on other member fav lists that I do not recognize, so my other mission is to find out more about those artists.
