I agree with you on Milgrom. The guy just couldn't draw. I have no strong like or dislike for Sekowsky. Robbins, however, was a great cartoonist. I love all the weird angles, jutted jaws and twisted knees and elbows. With Robbins, you always knew what was going on in the story, and his run on The Invaders is an unappreciated gem. He had the misfortune of following more "realistic" artists on various books, like Neal Adams on Batman and Michael Kaluta on The Shadow, and that contributes to fandom's general low regard of his work. But I still like his stuff for the same reason I like Ditko's -- it's singular, cartoonish and tells the story.
Actually, my first exposure to Robbins was on the Invaders, and I hated him from the get-go. Here is a perfect example of why I consider him one of the all-time suckiest:

Look at the last panel with Bucky playing Yoga-Twister. Good lord! What is that? I'd be embarrassed to sign my name to crap like that. It looks like it was drawn by a guy with Parkinson's who failed Anatomy 101!

Sekowsky might have been worse, I haven't actually forced myself to sit down and compare them side-by-side (sanity can only take so much strain at one time!).

Rik Estrada was also horrible. Just horrible.
