| Gene Colan and Dick Ayers are a couple of artists that I enjoy. (ok - I also wanted to see how the *spoon* filter handled Mr. Ayers.) | ||

| I love Kirby; he’s the reason I got back into comics 12-odd years ago but I prefer his Silver and Bronze age work. I know the early stuff is just as dynamic and explosive but the Simon/Kirby combo art-wise isn’t my favorite. What can I say? The hearts wants what the hearts wants. Other guys that leap to mind as favorites are Bill Everett, Harvey Kurtzman, Russ Heath and Tony Dipreta. DiPreta really bothered me as a kid reading horror reprints but he’s really grown on me in my old age. |

When I first started collecting in the 1960s, Kirby was clearly the King. Kind of fallen out of favor these days. Just posted this in the GA thread. |

| I personally Love Bill Everett. Also Al Feldstien and Graham "Ghastly" Ingels. I got to meet Feldstien a couple of years before he passed and talked with him for about a half a hour as nobody was asking for his auto so he was just sitting there with nothing to do. Can you imagine! Just a great guy. In that half hour he let loose with so much EC history and Bill Gains stories. I will just say he was not a fan. Good stuff! | ||

| I like Syd Shores quite a bit. I think a lot of people forget about him. The man did some awesome timely Cap covers. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Stelbert_Stylton If, like most collectors, you define the GA as 1938-1955, then they fall precisely in there. If you use the Atomic Age, they still fall into the period before the start of the SA |

Quote:Originally Posted by The_Curmudgeon Actually I don't agree with the cut-off of 1945 that Overstreet uses either. Even though it's 1945 for most collectors, I consider the end 1950, with the rise of EC. |
