Todd mcfarlane, Mark bagley, Alex maleev, Greg capullo, Ivan Reis, John Byrne, Jim Lee, and Alex Ross are some of my personal favorites

Great list! After your video on Gimenez I would have thought he‘d be higher on the list 😉

Thank you for this video! It was time for Artists to get some love!

My top ten favorite artist in no particular order are: Jim Lee, Jason Fabok, David Finch, Gary Frank, Steve Mcnieven, Brian Bolland. David Marquez, Greg Capullo, Glenn Farby, Ivan Reis I love drawing comics and those artist I just listed are huge influences for me

Omar, just gotta say it, this video and the other part back in 2019 introduced me to this whole pantheon of new artists and their work and opened my eyes to a whole lotof art that inspires me to this day Rewatching it is always a pleasure

Neal Adams, George Perez and Jim Aparo set the stage for most modern artists. Absolute legends.

That was a great list. This is my 20 to 11. Greg Staples, Simon Bisley, Marc Silvestri, David Gibbons, Carlos Ezquerra, Simon Davis, Kevin Walker, Jim Murray, Mike McMahon, Ian Gibson

I have far too many faves! A few are Frank Frazetta, Dave Stevens, Joe Kubert, John Buscema, John Romita Sr, Bill Sienkiewics, Jim Aparo, Gil Kane, Alex Ross, Esad Ribic, Gabriele Dell'Otto, Gary Frank, Ivan Reis, Jae Lee, Leinil Francis Yu, Steve McNiven, Jason Fabok, Ed McGuinness... Okay I'll stop now lol.

I have to say Alex Ross is one of if not my favorite comic artist. I just love the hyper realistic look of his stuff, and the fact that he does it with paint is even crazier. But As far as art in general goes in this field (comics, tv, etc.) I’d have to say my favorite is Alex Toth, his work on those early Hanna-Barberra animated series were great. I loved watching re-runs of Superfriends and Herculoids when I was a kid, though I’m still quite young at only 20. 😅

Fantastic and informative video. As someone who spent most of his time disregarding 'names' of comic creators, but is now paying a lot of attention, this vid wad just what I needed. Can't wait for part 2.

Man, George Perez killed it in his Wonder woman run. Every time I look at it, I get hooked.

It's so hard to rank my favorites. My list would probably consist of: Darwyn Cooke Steve Epting Frank Quitely Frank Miller Moebius Juan Gimenez Gary Frank Tim Sale David Mazzuchelli George Perez Frazer Irving Greg Capullo Jack Kirby Liam Sharp Mike Deodato Mike Allred Dale Eaglesham Esad Ribic Andrea Sorrentino Bryan Hitch There are a lot of honorable mentions like Alex Ross, Sean Phillips, and Mike Mignola who I like a lot and respect a lot but either didn't make the cut or I haven't seen enough of.

My Top 20 Comicbook artists... -Jack Kirby -John Buscema -Alan Davis -Lee Weeks -Joe Kubert -Will Eisner -Wally Wood -John Byrne -Moebius -Alex Ross -Steve Ditko -Neal Adams -Al Williamson -Bernie Krigstein -Frank Miller -Dave Gibbons -Carmine Infantino -Katsuhiro Otomo -Alex Nino -Jim Steranko

George Perez is my #1. Wrightson, Starlin, early 80s era Byrne and Miller. Generally, I prefer a clean, well-defined art style rather than sketchy or scribbley. Sometimes that is heavily impacted by the inker.

Tfw you don't get shouted out :( lol Very excited for part 2! Some of my favorites: J.H. Williams III Alex Ross Mœbius Brian Bolland Saverio Tenuta John Totleben Steve Bisette Jean-claude Gal

Great video Omar cant wait for part 2, My top 10 in no particular order are Alex Ross Jack Kirby Juan Gimenez John Buscema Darwyn Cooke Kelley Jones Mike Mignola J.H. Williams George Perez John Byrne

Bro thank you for this video, this is what I needed to take a break from work. Ready for top 10! Putting my list then, stay safe!

That is a nice list Omar. I can't believe I forgot about Adams and Cooke. Can't wait to see the top 10. Thanks again.

Some of my favorite artists are from the og classic guard 🔥🔥🔥 I fell in love with Jack Kirby's art from the jump same with Ditko, Romita Sr., Buscema, Colan you name it. From the reprints I read as a kid. Then as I dove deeper and explored other artists that I initially thought were crap which were Bryne, Simonson, Mcfarlane when I was a kid since I was so used to the classic silver age marvel art. But then as I got older I dived deep into their runs and enamored myself with all their work. So now I love all of these guys. Each of them bring something different to the table yet what they had in common was that it all looked awesome 🔥🔥🔥

My favorite comic book artists are 1.) John Byrne 2.) George Perez 3.) Jose Luis Garcia Lopez 4.) Kirby The King 5.) John Romita Sr. 6.) Neal Adams

I could've watched an hour of this, awesome topic Omar Look forward to part 2 🤟

Really looking forward to part 2. Thanks!

excellent have been waiting for this for e v e r !!

20 of my favourite outstanding comic artists in no particular order: James Stokoe Mike mignola Jack Kirby Moebius Juan Gimenez Bernie Wrightson Eric Powell Richard Corben Darwin Cook Simon Bisley Lee Bermejo Greg Capullo Kevin O’Neill Eduardo Risso Tradd Moore John Arcudi Tim sale Frank cho Ryan Ottley Brian Bolland Esad Ribić and Frank frazetta for cover art mostly.

Sergio Toppi deserves a spot imo :)

Great list so far NMC! :)

Loving these lists of your top 10’s, top 20’s etc.

In no particular order the ones I discovered in my youth of comic collecting: Don Newton Neal Adams Alan Davis Jim Aparo Jim Lee John Byrne And the ones I discovered later in life: John Buscema Bernie Wrightson Arthur Adams George Perez Al Williamson Alex Raymond Dave Stevens

20 Sal Buscema 19 Gil Kane 18 Mike Ploog 17 Bob Layton 16 Alex Maleev 15 Sean Philips 14 Neal Adams 13 Jim Steranko 12 Jim Starlin 11 Gene Colan That's mine....probably not in an exact order...but close. VERY difficult. I have my Top Ten ready for the next video! Hint my Top Ten has some of your 20-11

Can't wait for you to do this for writers!!!

Great list and totally get its very hard. Only surprise i had was Perez being on this list vs the top 10, but i get everyone has different reasons. Nice call out to more recent artists that I think deserve mention (RB Silva, Jorge Jimenez)

This is a video I was waiting for :) I´ve been reading Comics for 7 years or so.. my fav artists so far without a special order: sean murphy sean philips lee bermejo Humberto Ramos Alex ross darwyn Cooke frank miller (on sin City) Greg capullo (on spawn) Phil hester jock darick Robertson geof darrow John romita jr. skottie Young Steve mcniven ...and a few more ; )...Keep up the great work, Omar! you got an amazing knowledge about comics...

Tu bien nostalgico y con el song of healing atras. Esa es una receta para lagrimas D;. Great video Omar!

Great video, Omar. I’d love to see more countdown videos, or videos highlighting the art of comics. A few ideas to consider could be a focus on your favorite/top creative teams (either writer/artist(s), or artist/inker), favorite artists by era (golden to bronze age for one video, and modern/current era for another), favorite covers (this could be explored several ways either by publisher, artist, hero/team, etc), the importance of inkers and/or letterers (often unsung heroes of comics), etc; Keep up the awesome work.

How to draw comics the marvel way and Conan always come to mind when I think of John Buscema. The way his heroes punch people out is iconic. John Buscema and Tom Palmer inks remind me of Avengers:)

Obviously romita Snr is my man but I loved the video as I have learnt why other artists are great and sampled some images you provided. I can go away now and look at some amazing bodies of work. Your correct that it's about a lot of things other than looks. Its light shadow composition form just about everything. Thanks so much for making my evening. Excelsior :-)

In terms of drawing perfect proportions no matter the pose, Perez and Buscema are untouchable. My top 2 are in your bottom half: Cooke and Risso.

Batman Broken City was visually incredible. I think the thing Eduardo Risso does almost better than anyone: visual perspective. He always seems to chose the position of the “camera” perfectly, and from unique and interesting perspectives that other artists don’t. This also helps to highlight his amazing ability to have strongly defined silhouette geometry in his characters (Broken City has some of my all time favorite panels of Batman because of this). Really looking forward to the 100 Bullets omni.

This is a fantastic first Part of the list. I wholeheartedly agree that all of these artists are fantastic. From the European Comics Hermann Huppen deserves a mention. My guess is that Moebius will be in the Top 10. Of the more contemporary artists I like Simone Bianchi a lot, but he hasn't done enough to deserve being in the list. Other artists I really adore and might fit in 20-11 range are Wally Wood, Jim Steranko and Walter Simonson. Of course its all very subjective. But I do like your list a lot.

Steve Ditko is my favorite artist he’s underrated

I HATED Steve Ditko when I was young.....loved Kirby and just hated Ditko. Took me a while but I eventually got it too. Art appreciation really does take some experience and time....maturity I guess?

I was able to meet Bernie Weightson a year or so before he passed. He was a true legend who has not gotten enough love. I hope that Stan Sakai is in your top 10 list.

You’re a real one for appreciating Manga art enough to give it its own list

An impossible task...which I was up to. 1. John Byrne 2. George Perez 3. Walter Simonson 4. Art Adams 5. Joe Kubert 6. Alex Ross 7. Darwyn Cooke 8. John Cassaday 9. David Mazzucchelli 10. Steve Ditko 11. Frank Quitely 12. Alex Toth 13. Neal Adams 14. Esad Ribic 15. J. H. Williams 16. Carl Barks 17. Eric Powell 18. Evan Shaner 19. David Aja 20. Jerome Opena

With regard to what you mentioned about Perez, Scott Koblish won a Guinness World Record for most number of comic book characters on a single comic book cover for The Wedding of Deadpool.

Ok so I read a lot of x-men comics so here is my top x-men artists list #10 Jim lee #9 joe mad #8 Chris bachelo #7 Pepe larraz #6 Phil Jimenez #5 this is a stretch because he has done x-men related books but David yardin #4 John Byrne #3 Salvador larroca #2 John Cassaday and #1 is Greg land just kidding we don’t mention him here my real #1 pick is Alan Davis because man can that guy draw the x-men and plus he is my favorite artist of all time

Please do one for writers! But Claremont better be nr.1 it's so much fun interacting with him on Instagram

I agree with every single one of your choices, but can't wait to see who you'll pick for part 2 :-D Coincidentally, I started my own series on the same topic two days ago :-D

You gave yourself a hard task of narrowing down 20 artists. That's a tough one. Bernie's black and white art is absolutely gorgeous. I heard forever ago that del Toro was going to direct a Frankenstein adaption. I'm sure he would have gone for Bernie's style, and feel that he may actually hand in a good adaption of the book. I've been mostly disappointed in Frankenstein films, love the book. But man, Risso is one hell of an artist. I remember it taking me a while to get used to his art. But once it clicks in place for you, it opens up. His shot composition is like a cinematographer. His art has a fluidity to it. His absolute blacks just ooze with style. I keep saying 100 Bullets would be an incredible crime show if HBO or Netflix would pick it up. I remember trying to cast parts in my head. Like Malcolm McDowell as Graves, Robert Redford as Shepherd, and Brad Pitt as Milo Garrett to name a few. Lol. Risso is a good story teller as well. Him and Azzarello really gel together as artist and writer. A lot of people can draw art, but a good comic book artist has to know how to draw a story. Way more challenging than a single image. But top 20 cover artists may be a future episode...

When I was introduced to comics at age ten it was Jim Lee and Gregg Capullo. I was honored to meet them early on almost 20+ years ago and it partly inspired me enough to start my art career. I was so obsessed with drawing that I started to pick up bits of their style over the years. When I discovered the Conan comics I fell in love with the art by John Buscema and Barry Windsor-Smith. I also love Marc Silvestri's early work on Wolverine with Larry Hama. Too many to list! Enjoyed this video Omar!

Well, we share two so far, my man, but I'd put George Perez up a lot higher than 11 on my list. John Buscema would also be on my list. Not that I don't appreciate the other artists you mentioned. I love all of them. Anyway, here's my list: 1) John Byrne 2) George Perez 3) Alan Davis 4)JH Williams III 5) Kevin Maguire 6) John Cassaday 7) Michael Lark 8) John Paul Leon 9) Brian Bolland (though wish he'd done more interiors) 10) Travis Charest 11) Mike Mignola 12) Barry Windsor-Smith 13) John Buscema 14) Jack Kirby 15) Ryan Sook 16) Bill Sienkiewicz 17) Alex Ross 18) John Totleben 19) Paul Smith 20) Walt Simonson.

Great list... Yo agregaria a Alberto y Enrique Breccia. Quique Alcatena. También se puede incluir a Alex Raymond y Hal Foster.

Sean Phillips, stephanie hans, tyler crook, jock, steve dillon and inio asano

My guess is Alex Maleev, John Byrne, Sienkiewicz, Mazzuchelli, Windsor-Smith, Frank Miller, Will Esner, Jim Lee, Neal Adams and Jack Kirby

I don’t really have the same emotional connection with artists that you seem to, but some of my favorites include Cooke, Mignola, Francavilla, Ba, Moon, Sakai and Guy Davis. I’m generally not very hard on artists generally. There are few that I dislike (or if there are, I don’t bother with their books so I don’t remember them).

Kudos to you for even attempting this list. It would be extremely difficult for me to do and I understand this is YOUR opinion but Arthur Adams is up in my top 5 if not number 1 lol You should have him ranked higher! LoL Eduardo Russo is really good like Frank Miller and later Scott McDaneil their use of negative space and that’s why I love all 3 of those guys. Love the video Omar!!

Just an idea, but I think it would be really cool if you could give some recommendations of books where these artists shine, like you did with John Buscema on Conan. Also, 100% agree with a ton of these choices! Great list

Al Williamson is my favourite. Followed by Norm Breyfogle, Herb Trimpe, Ethan Van Sciver and Frank Miller.

l know what Mr uncany number 1 favorit artis arts comic Mr. Jim Lee . Will see . next review

My personal favourites are -Ryan Ottley -Steve Mcniven -Frank Cho -Salva Espin -Ben Oliver -Julian Totino Tedesco -Artgerm -Mike Allred -David Finch -Jim Lee

Arthur Adams was my favorite when I was a kid. Sam Keith was my favorite edgy comic artist. John Byrne was the gold standard. Now I have appreciation for Kirby, Steranko, and Neal Adams.

Could you do a reading Order or overview of how the DC universe fits together? Like where does the Death of Superman fit in with Batman, or what is Wonder Woman doing during No Mans Land?

Every time.. Omar: ”Don’t forget to smash that like-button.” Me: pauses video to smash that like-button Also me: sees that I smashed the like-button before I started the video

I was honestly expecting George Perez in the next video because you've talked so highly of him before. He's definitely up there for me. I'm excited for part 2! Will you be doing a list like this for writers? The story in a comic matters more to me than the art (just personal preference) and I would love to hear who your favorite writers are :)

My Top 20 Artists (no particular order) 1. Mark Bagley 2. Alex Ross 3. Ryan Stegman 4. Ryan Ottley 5. Stuart Immonen 6. Jorge Jimenez 7. Gary Frank 8. Jason Fabok 9. John Romita Sr. 10.

My favourite comic book artist is JH Williams III

I love a lot of artists that you mentioned some of my favourite artists are Greg Capullo , Sean Philips , Ryan Ottley , Mike Mignola and others like Alex ross Jim lee ecc.. I would love to see the same video just with writer’s instead on artists so a Top 20 Best Comic book Writers and I would very much enjoy a top 10 or top 20 best comic book duo , writer and artists basically artist and writers that work together really well for example Ed Brubaker and Sean Philips .

Brother that's a great list I can guess your top ten are 90's artist. That would be mine as well along with some others.

1. Alberto Breccia 2. Moebius 3. Stefano Andreucci 4. Richard Corben 5. Mike Mignola 6. R.M. Guera 7. Stevan Subić 8. Gimenez 9. Hugo Pratt 10. Greg Capulo 11. Juilard 12. Ivo Milazzo 13. Esad Ribić 14. Alfonso Font 15. Alex Raymond 16. Herge 17. Uderzo 18. Dave McKean 19. Enrico Marini 20. Corrado Roi

John Byrne, Bill Sienkiewicz, Moebius, Alex Ross, Milo Manara, Otomo Katsuhiro, Paul Smith, Stefano Tamburini/Tanino Liberatore

Bernie Wrightson is my #1! I woulda put Arthur Adams way higher as well. He was da Jim Lee of da eighties, highly stylized, highly detailed. His characters just looked “sexier” then what others were doin at that time. Hope your top 10 include: Simon Bisley, BWS, Sam Kieth, Rick Leornadi, Mike Zeck, Splatt, and/ or Moebius. Guaranteed you’re gon have Byrne, Silvestri, and Lee, with honorable mentions of J. Scott Campbell and Joe Mad?

Great list Omar my list of favorite comic book artists are 20-15 are at 20. Patrick Gleason , 19. Artgerm I know he only does covers but love his Variant covers especially for Supergirl , 18. J.H. Williams , 17. Cat Staggs , 16. Bengal and 15. Eddie Barrows

Wow. Can’t believe George Perez didn’t crack the Top 10. I can’t remember the first comic I ever read, but I do know Perez was the first artist I remember making a point to find his work.

In no particular order, my top 20.....Neal Adams, Wrightson, Steranko, Frank Miller, Bolland, McFarlane, Bryne, Perez, Lee, Aparo, BWS, Ditko, Kubert, Kane, Wood, Romita, Buscema, Simonson, Infantino, Anderson

I realize when compiling a list like this it ends up being arranged by 1. Impact on the industry 2. What the evolution is from artist to artist ( could this artist have existed without that artist 3. How many books I pick up just because that artist does them. 4. I am pointing to that artist at their greatest achievement level not when they may have declined in skill level. So.... Steve Ditko Jack Kirby Jim Steranko Barry Windsor Smith Neal Adams Jim Starlin Frank Miller John Byrne George Perez Michael Golden Bill Sienkiewicz David Mazzuchelli P Craig Russell Darwyn Cooke Frank Quitely Rick Veitch JH Willians Seth Fisher Paul Pope

Jim Lee and Sean Murphy are some of my favorites. Batman Hush, prolly not the best Batmam story ever but one of my favorites because of Jim Lee's artwork and while he didnt have the longest run on X-men but thats my generations X-men so whenever I think X-men it always comes back to that version first so thank you Jim Lee for giving us that. And I really like Sean Murphys blocky art style, it looks really good for the stories he does. (Punk Rock Jesus, Tokyo Ghost, The Wake, Joe the Barabarian, Batman:White Knight,etc.)

...and Omar, can you give a rec on the shelves you have. Upgrading soon and I really like tbe black look.

John Buscema and George Perez are in my top 10 list.

Thats funny Buscema didn’t like drawing superhero comics. Sure did a good job with Avengers run. Great list with some artists I’ve never heard of but will definitely check out.

I only have 12: Sejic Phil Noto John Buscema Kirby Jim Lee Fiona Staples Sana Takeda Michael Lark Roc Upchurch Ivan Reis Jen Bartel Chris Samnee

Awesome thumbnail 👏

Omar you make The best content

*Luiz Royo* and *Barry-Windson Smith* are also masters in Illustrations!

Thank you, for introducing me to my favorite artist, Milo Manara.

Great video

This is such a subjective topic but being an art lover I like seeing everyone’s tastes. It can really make it break a story. The paneling, rendering, colors, and PANELING

So many.. Joe Calquhoun, Jesus Redondo, Jose Ortiz, Kevin O’Neil, Simon bisley, Joe kubert, Neil adams, Ploog, Reg Bunn..but Joe Calquhoun is number one for me. See his Johnny Red or Charlie’s war work.

Its so cool that the first two artists from the list are from Argentina! 🇦🇷♥️

ALSO PLEASE DO RETROVIEW OF ROGER STERN SPIDER-MAN!

I admire your restraint . I don`t think I could do less than 50. The only one I wouldn`t put on My list is Fiona Staples . Good but not one of my favorites. But art is subjective.

I went to an exhibition of Frank Quitely’s artwork in Glasgow. I hadn’t read anything he’d drawn, but seeing his work displayed on the walls made me realise what it was like to properly appreciate comic art and all the fine detail that goes into making it. I went in not knowing a great deal about him, and by the time I left, I’d decided he was one of my favourite artists. Plus, he was actually there himself, although he was speaking to someone at the time. One thing that particularly stood out was a series of square panels created for We3. They depicted CCTV footage and were designed to be read in any order. Frank kept the squares in a raisin box, which his wife threw in the bin, thinking it was just a raisin box. Fortunately, he managed to get them back before the bins went out. They actually had the box there in a glass case at the exhibition. I was inspired to check out both We3 and Jupiter’s Legacy, both of which I enjoyed and would recommend. I’d check out New X-Men too if the paperback collections weren’t well out of print.

Love, love, love Arthur Adams!

George Perez is on my top 10 and I was hoping he'd be there rather than in your #11-20. But this is your top 20 so I understand.c",)

Mark bagley, John romita jr, John romita sr, Todd McFarlane, Ryan Ottley, Jim lee, humberto ramos

Just read Lady Mechanika and the artwork by Joe Benitez is astonishing..so is aphrodite 1X by stjepan sejic..!! Fantastic..both of them..!!

I would really love to see your Top 10 Judge Dredd and 2000AD graphic novels
