  • Kirby (original square head Hulk)
  • Sal Buscema (1970s-1980s grandmaster Hulk)
  • Trimpe (particularly Trimpe inking Trimpe, just gorgeous, but the Severin-inked stuff is fabulous as well)
  • JB (specifically the Kirby riff square head Hulk)
  • Walt Simonson (RAMPAGING HULK magazine, inked by Alcala, amazing)

Good call on Walter Simonson's b&w magazine version Chad!

Robert B., that Simonson Hulk is Top Five all-time images of the character, imo. I recall seeing that splash in a Bullpen Bulletins, devoid of captions or titles, as a seven or eight yr old; remember being actually a little scared by it. So Simonson probably did exactly what he set out to do, in creating a more "realistic" Hulk. 

Many, many artists today should take notes, when shooting for "realism" in comics. A bunch of steroidal veins does not a Hulk make.

1. Sal Buscema -- hands down, my definitive Hulk artist.
2. Gary Frank -- loved his "Merged Hulk"...
3. Dale Keown -- ranked lower `cause he didn't stick around for IH #400...
4. Todd McFarlane -- his Gray Hulk...wow!  Monstrous....
5. Herb Trimpe -- he had two spectacular stints inking his own work that I absolutely love (@#117-123 & #182-186, great stuff!)

Honorable mentions:
Ed McGuinness (spoiled because of the Red Hulk garbage).
Walt Simonson & Alfredo Alcala from the Rampaging Hulk mag.
John Byrne himself...great rendition, too short of a run.
