You're right about the inks. Scott Williams is the Jim Lee inker. While others have inked his pencils, Lee's work always looks best to me when it is inked by Williams. But, I think both of the above samples were inked by Scott Williams. And while you find the X-Men #5 cover to be too busy I think it's a great composition. That's one of the Lee pieces that puts me in the mind of some of Barry Smith's best Conan work.
