I might get ratioed for this one, but for my money Mike Zeck is the greatest cover artist in history. Measured by iconic covers and the number of homages. My second place is Jim Steranko and this is of cover artists who also drew interiors not just covers.
Who you got?

@JonathanJColton He would definitely be up there. His G.I.Joe covers were spectacular.

@protobertx It had a lot to do with the right folks in charge at DC/Warner Bros. going to bat for creators when it came to character use in other media, like Paul Levitz.

hay un caso peor
Len Wein a comentado que a recibido mas plata por crear a Lucius fox que POR CREAR AL MALDITO WOLVERINE

@Shinda0S Peter David estaba muriendo mientras que Sony y Disney ganaban millones con su personaje Es peor cuando el propio Jim starlim dice que ganó más por K.g.beast en BvS que sus personajes introducidos en el ucm

@akolvek1007 @marvlous_melody And I really wanna stress the archival thing here. One of my personal favorite comics is pretty much only accessible via pirate sites. The full run is near impossible to find even on ebay and it does not deserve to be lost. Pirate sites are the main reason it hasn't been.

Also DC and Marvel just don't reprint their older comics....genuinely how am I supposed to read stuff from the 60s and 70s

pirate comic sites going down situation is rlly sad bcs most people pirate not because they just dont want to pay but because they genuinely have no other access to those comics besides those sites
English
@onlyanimafan @marvlous_melody Well, this is what a lot of readers have done for years. And those people who’ve straddled the line of pre internet/post internet, bin diving was the way to go. But, the time of instant gratification that high speed internet has brought has spoiled some people.
English
@marvlous_melody Oh the only viable option other than piracy is usually getting lucky and finding a store with dollar comic boxes and spending a couple hours searching. Or ebay.
English
@TheHatalwayswin He’s said just because they weren’t prevelent due to the distribution there, he’s not as much of a fan. War comics were the thing.
English
It’s crazy to me how you can make shit up and people will believe it cause Ennis has never said nor believed any of this 😭

@ComicsMeta I think he had some inside track on bringing in lower cost foreign talent and pushing off veteran artists. Probably why he got promoted.
English
Sometimes I wonder why Marvel editorial is so ass and then I remember the current editor in chief lied about being Japanese to break into the industry and then it all clicks
English
@OfeliaMidori Yeah, there are others. These go down on occasion and pop back up later. That happens with pirate sites. To me they’re good for checking out books, but I’ve bought books regularly since the eighties, so no biggie. I’ve tons of scans from the days past, too.
English
Read comics online is down that’s like seeing the Alexandria library burn in from on my own very eyes
English
@JonathanJColton Of recent artist with a decent run, I’d say Reis. Kane is a legend. For Bronze Age, I loved Keith Pollard and Joe Staton.

@Cat_Tonkotsu @TopOfSkyboundTF I buy the books and read them every month. Don’t think that posting something that has been out there for years is the problem.
English
@akolvek1007 @TopOfSkyboundTF You have to share something like this in DMs it’s currently down right now I use this site to read my comics and now people are blasting it 😭
English
They got ReadComicOnline right before issue 32 released 💔💔
English
@JonathanJColton I’d go with Neal Adams, probably the most important Batman artist. I like Todd’s Batman, but don’t think I’d consider him in the top four Batman artist, way down the list, sorry.
English
Who is the greatest Batman artist of all time?
A. Neal Adams
B. Jim Lee
C. Jim Aparo
D. Todd McFarlane

@CoolComicArt I believe he is teaching in New York, but don’t know specifics. He always delivers when he does any comic work.
English
@Racetrack1982 @Akira_USA2 @noachlive It was one of the issues of the empire strikes back adaptation, I believe. They needed filler pages for some issues, so pinups were used.
English
@Akira_USA2 @noachlive Marvel. It was a pin-up. I forgot which issue.

@hasanthehun I’ve got five dollars on the chance that we find out that the shooter happened to be a part of some right wing operation in the past, since that seems to be the case with every Trump ‘assassin’.
English
we dont even have details of what happened yet and these mfs are already using this opportunity to try and blame me! the president uses the most violent rhetoric ever known to man, perhaps thats why its usually his own supporters trying to shoot at him.
Bonchie@bonchieredstate
Is this a good time to mention that the Democrats' new darling, Hasan Piker, said he wanted the blood of his political opponents to run in the streets and recently justified the murder of an innocent father because he ran a health insurance company?
English
@CattardSlim God, those two faces need a little road rash on them.
English
Before Trump became President, Eric & Don Jr were just two morons with an allowance & Executive VP titles.
Now they're making billions from
The Crypto market
The Tariff market
The Prediction market
The Military industrial market
The Foreign Investment market

@KCromwellAuthor While I finally sold my childhood Star Wars figure collection a few years ago, I still kept one: a headless Luke X-Wing pilot who lost said head while playing in the snow which my snowspeeder about 4o years ago.
English
No Star Wars prequel, sequel, or TV show can compare to the adventures I had with this guy in my backyard!

@AldousOnTheFarm @QueenKaylaleesi Earl Norem and Ken Kelly were strictly cover painters, or just painters in general, spanning a hell of a lot more books covers and the like outside of comics. Sienkiewicz is a really good storyteller throughout his career, imo.
English
@QueenKaylaleesi Earl Norem, Ken Kelly, and Bill Sienkiewicz.
Each brings more life to their cover work. Energy feels pulled down in their sequentials.

QUESTIONS OF THE DAY: What artist in your opinion creates better comic covers than sequential work? Why do you feel this way?
English
@MikeBales “Wednesday, it’s suppository time again. Ain’t it grand?” Spock’s Beard-Cakewalk on Easy Street😁
English
@QueenKaylaleesi Yep. There are a lot of artist who I like immensely, but I can see they struggle with basic storytelling flow. They are technically brilliant, but the pages look like pinups pasted together. But, the original art market is big business, so I guess they win either way.
English
You can be a great artist and still not be able to produce beautiful, compelling sequential art. There's a reason why some artist only do covers… Sequential artwork requires a person to understand narrative flow. Not every artist can produce good sequential work.
