Only if you view comics solely as the big two. Mazzuchelli first branched off into art comics in the early 90's with Rubber Blanket, and he's since been going strong in that channel (although he hasn't had a major release since "Asterios Polyp" won a slew of awards back in 2009).

Travis Charest comes to mind for me. I remember seeing him do a Flash annual, and thought he was going to be hot. I don't remembering seeing much after that, though a quick google reveals he's still out there and active.
Also, like Marc said, I wished for a lot more of Paul Smith art.

If the Smith fans haven't seen it, he did a Kitty miniseries about a decade ago that has motherf***ing SEAMLESS art. It's beautiful. He inked the first half, and then Joe Rubenstein inked the back half.
Edited to add: I recall the colors being quite complementary to the line art.

I thought of Paul Smith too! But just thinking of UNCANNY X-MEN, DR. STRANGE, and LEAVE IT TO CHANCE puts him over the three dozen mark, and then add the (thick) four issues of GOLDEN AGE, shorts runs on NEXUS, THE SPIRIT, X-FACTOR and random one or two issues here and there--it all puts him around the 100-issue mark!
But, yes, I wouldn't mind more too!

David Ross exceeds the 12 issue maxim but he is seriously under appreciated he was one of the few artists I followed from Marvel to Valiant

Mike's Amazing World had 48 stories from him and I can think of a few other comics he did that weren't listed. Mostly short features, though.

Charles Vess did do Graphic Novels of Stardust and Raven Banner - both quite enjoyable indeed!

Brian Bolland almost qualifies for this I think.
12 issues of Camelot 3000, the Killing Joke and a few odd issues here and there.
The rest is a few Judge Dredd stories (which were not full comics), and stuff like annuals where he draws a pinup or a 3-4 page backup story.

Amazing how few stories there are by Bolland, yet we all know who he is. (I bet a lot of people who never read CAMELOT 3000 or his British work still know who he is.)
That brings to mind Adam Hughes too. Not sure how many books he did (loved his fairly recent BETTY & VERONICA mini!) because I think a lot of his work was later Image stuff that I missed, but we all know him from his cover work.
Just like Joe Sinnottt and Tony De Zuniga were great pencilers (or penciler/inkers) but they shifted their focus to inking for the last decades of their careers, or Larry Hama and some others became editors, Bolland, Hughes, and Art Adams becoming mostly COVER artists is a legitimate career turn. They certainly didn't disappear like Mazzuchelli or Plunkettt--being a cover artist seems like the most high-profile job in comics.

Hughes did around 25 issues of THE MAZE AGENCY before most people even knew who he was.
