| I always thought Stan Lee was the biggest name in comics. Since his passing who do you think is now the legend of our industry? Perhaps a few people? I thought it would be interesting to see what you all think. |

| I love Stan Lee and I recognize his incredible contribution to comics but there's one who I believe contributed more and that's Jack Kirby. Now who sits at the top is probably Jim Steranko or Neal Adams. |

| Peach Momoko, Shannon Maer, and JeeHyung Lee. I dont know who they are, but I can't throw a stone at my email without seeing their names every day. I didn't even get emails about Stan every day |

| As much as I love Steranko and his artwork, he really doesn't impact the comic book world actively anymore. In fact, a brief search on Grand Comics Database (aka comics.org), shows his last published works being in 1970. I know people are going to have a problem with this, but he is not Stan Lee level legacy. He has influenced many artists, is loved by many fans (including myself), but I think he falls short of being THE Stan Lee replacement. | ||

| Carmine Infantino. The guy basically invented the Silver Age style most DC fans recognize. He was called Carmine the Great for a reason... | ||

| Ok, I didn't think the date on Steranko sounded right in my post, so I went back and dug some more. It looks like the late 80's was about when Steranko really slowed down being a presence in the comic book industry. He has done covers and such since then, but I don't believe he really worked on any one series for at least the last 30 years. If I am wrong, please correct me. Edit - from wikipedia.  |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| Going by the amounts they charge (and their availability) I would say Todd McFalane, Frank Miller, and John Romita. Of course, their fees pale in comparison to the celebrities that play their creations on the silver screen. |
