Didn't see a lot of Tony DeZuniga as a penciller after '75. Unfortunately that's when I started reading comics. I learned of him from back issues of Adventure Comics.

Jeff Purves comes to mind.

Yeah. I only recall Jeff Purves doing The Incredible Hulk.

Same, Greg. I thought he was quite good -- not "flashy" at all, but a solid artist. And Terry Austin inking him looking pretty damn good.

If I recall correctly, Alan Weiss did at least one issue of Atlas/Seaboard's THE BRUTE with inks by Jack Abel.

Great answers so far! Some comments--
SANDY PLUNKETT--I had no idea he did so much! I didn't think he did more than 3 or 4 comics, but his page count seems to add up to about 12 full issues, so he fits great!
ART ADAMS--I felt like I could count his comics on my fingers, but looking him up shows me that he did indeed manage to do an average of 2 or 3 comics per year for over 30 years, which DOES add up to a healthy number!
TONY DE ZUNIGA--and I might add LARRY HAMA--may not have done that much penciling, but they didn't exactly disappear, switching to inking and editing respectively.

I'm thinking STERANKO fits into the next category above this particular thread--the "30 or so Hit Wonders"!--if you add up his page count. I thought the following were on the low end--
FRANK BRUNNER DAVID MAZZUCHELLI TRAVIS CHAREST
--but they all did more than I thought, in the three dozen range. But it would be nice if all these "36-Hit Wonders" had still done more!

What is incredible is just how well known these people are based on such few issues. The stories they created were. by and large, quite definitive.

I know what you mean. I was going to toss out Alan Zelenetz (esp. for Alien Legion and Kull) and it turns out he did about 80 books. :-/
Over on the indy side, I wish we had gotten more from Martin Wagner (Hepcats). He got 12 issues out, went away, and his attempts to get going again on it never went anywhere. Heck, he never finished his first major storyline.

He's certainly more than a 12-Hit Wonder - but in the spirit of what we are discussing - I always wanted MUCH, MUCH MORE Paul Smith.

I don't know if I'd remember a name I saw only a dozen times or so. There are a few guys who had "day jobs" and less comics work than I'd like. Like painter Angus McKie, with about 50 credits as penciller, 70-some as inker, (hmm... isfdb.org list about that many book and magazine covers... is that a living?), and more than 300 as colorist. Alex Schomburg has more than a thousand credits, a lot of covers, but even 1000 covers would be a lot of pages. Then there's writer Timothy Zahn: I bought the 3-issue STARLORD series on the news that he would be writing it. Alas, it is among his lesser fiction. But I see in Star Wars comics -- setting aside adaptations of his novels -- there is a six-issue series with a preview and an encore for his Mara Jade character.

Mazzuchelli is an interesting one. He turned out a decent number of issues on Daredevil (all good). But the double whammy of Year One and Born Again elevated him into the realms of truly monumental. And then he seemed to just disappear.
