[Second attempt at this, apologies of this ends up as a double post. #n00bfail] My favourite comic artist is Alex Ross. I am especially fond of the "Kingdom Come" series (with Mark Waid - a fave writer of mine since his Flash days) and the tabloid-sized "The World's Greatest Super-Heroes" series (with Paul Dini - another fave writer of mine). He's the only comic artist (or artist in general I think) who can routinely take my breath away.
