These are based strictly on comics that I have read, and I usually do my research beforehand, so I could be off-base on some of them.

Basically my list. Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Morrison and Johns.
I'd add Tom King for more psychological thriller components and James Tynion rarely disappoints (though it's not always stellar).

	Stan Lee is probably the guy who has written the most comics I enjoyed. The first 100 issues of both Spider-Man and Fantastic Four is hard to top! Carl Barks is a name that hasn’t been mentioned here yet, but his work is absolutely brilliant. In the 80s I like Ostrander, DeMatteis, Claremont, Peter David and Alan Moore the most, among many others. Some writers who have written many of the stories I enjoyed, Like Roy Thomas, Steve Englehart, Marv Wolfman, Len Wein, Robert Kanigher and Gerry Conway have also written their share of clunkers over the years, but still have a pretty good batting average. I also agree that Jeff Smith’s Bone is awesome! I am sure there are many great writers I have neglected to mention (Jim Shooter comes immediately to mind). I know absolutely nothing about moderns and if you mentioned the name of the latest “hot” writers of comics I wouldn’t have a clue who they were or what they wrote. At age 52 I am on the verge of becoming an old curmudgeon!

I feel like I may have a TPB with his name on the spine that I have not read yet. I know that he does SIKTC, which I am ordering the series next month with Volume 4's release.

	Tynion had a good size run on Detective Comics and most recently on Batman, and he also co-wrote some of the New 52 Batman run that Snyder and Capullo did. I've been meaning to check out SIKTC. Also, when I saw the post, I was thinking more current writers. If I'm going writers of all time, for me it'd be Stan Lee, Denny O'Neil, Alan Moore and Frank Miller. I also need to throw a shout out to Jeph Loeb as he wrote 2 of my favorite Batman stories of all time (Long Halloween and Hush), and I thought all of his Marvel "color" titles were great, especially Spider-Man: Blue.

I've been meaning to check out SIKTC. Looking up his bibliography, I actually have quite a bit of his work, since I have all of the Batman and 'Tec comics from Rebirth until City of Bane and 'Tec #1000.

	John Byrne For the "modern age" Rick Remender. His Uncanny X force run, Tokyo Ghost, Seven to Serenity, Deadly Class, Fear Agent, I can go on. My only beef with him is that so many of his series get delayed.

	Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman are my answers, historically. I think Peter Milligan is really underrated--I'll try anything he writes. Grant Morrison can be hit-or-miss for me, but I've loved a lot of his stuff. I also have left-field favorites like Daniel Clowes and Seth. I've been catching up lately after about a decade away from regular comics buying, and I'm finding work by a few of the "newer" writers enjoyable and intriguing--Jeff Lemire, Tom King, and Kelly Thompson are names that come to mind--but I need to read more by them. With King, for example, I've liked his Supergirl and Rorschach, but not Batman/Catwoman or the Joker short that was in a sampler.
