Let's not forget, when mentioning Marvel's inkers, the multiple Shazam! award winning Dan Adkins. Barry Smith's best work on Conan was inked by Adkins. And the team of John and Marie Severin. Great stuff! And, didn't Bill Everett actually pencil some Sub-Mariner issues in the 1960's?
Really surprised at the Count's dislike of Infantino and Kubert who were not just artists but artists' artists. Count, when were you first exposed to these guys? During their hey day in the early 60's or later?
I agree, by the way, that Infantino's art declined after the 60's (and rapidly), but back in his Flash/Adam Strange days, he was the one to beat.
I did want to say that I think our appreciation of certain artists, comic books, etc. is relative, based on our age when we first beheld them. The greatest comic book artist in the world could come along right NOW and I could acknowlege his greatness but ya know what? I still get a bigger thrill from Dick Sprang's WORLDS FINEST issue where Superman and Batman meet the Crimson Avenger. Because that's when I was a kid.
