   Who is the greatest comic artist of all time?
  

My vote (as you can tell from my handle) is Jack Kirby. He was the greatest influence in comics history. And anyone who has their own Krackle named after them...well they gotta be the King!

I think you have to specify what you mean by greatest artist. Kirby was prolific and a great creator but I think many people would say that Neal Adams, Wrightson, etc are better artist per their craft and have brought unique styles to the comic art form. I think Kirby gets my vote as greatest all time creator...but others might get best artist award...I'm just sayin.

  As far as raw talent goes I give my vote to Michael Golden and here is why (by the way, (I mean the original style Golden, not what he has morphed into in recent years with the big chins, etc). When I see his art, I know I am seeing something a world more beautiful that reality and I can only see it through this artists eyes. I would love to put on a pair off glasses and see everything as Golden would draw it...everything would be shiny and round and glowing and highly detailed.

  Todd McFarlane is sooo good he creates whole businesses and industries and imitators galore!

  My vote goes to Bernie Wrightson. The only problem is his new stuff does not seem as good as his old stuff :(
