    Have to take some of yall back and break out some of the legendary John Byrne's ? . ? can write (check out the Bullseye vs Elektra & Bullseye vs Daredevil storyline in "Daredevil #181) AND draw his ass off. I always thought John Byrne drew the best Batman interpretation as a kid. But Jim Lee's ? blows the competition away by far; it ain't even fair.

    Old school X-Men cover. I actually have this issue in Mint condition.

    Some more old McFarlane Spidey covers:

    Also, one of Ron Lim's Silver Surfer covers. I always thought he drew the Surfer and Firelord the best out of any other artist.

    This is my Marvel poster. Jim didn't go any of the characters on the poster, but his run on the book was so epic and he left such a impression on the Punisher, Wolverine, and of course the X-Men, that I just had to have him sign it. Claremont's autograph is on the left with the Logan sketch provided courtesy of Mark Texeria.

    Jim Lee's and autograph from the "Icons," in-store at Mid-Town comics last year; also Mark Texeria of Ghost Rider fame is signature is on there too.

    Value isn't important to me. My fanboy stuff is for my personal enjoyment. Though my Spidey #300 was unofficially graded as very fine with a value of $60.

    Jim Lee is top 3 of all time, he was my favorite after the xmen card series when they rebooted it with a blue/gold team. He been around for years so yeah he's gotta be in consideration got the goat spot. But, all the original guys that started image could get down; rob liefield, eric lawson, wilz portacio, jim valentino, mafarlane was a creative genius. Idk So many greats, it's hard to name the goat.

    I disagree. The art work is better than most but I can't give it goat status. All of Jim lee's characters look the same. Same stock design chiseled jaws and intense looks.no variations in ? structure to further illustrate personality.

    When you can substitute gambit's face with wolverines then you can't be called goat. You can sub cyclops gave onto superman's.


    Alex ross covers come to mind. Artists should work on giving characters distinguishing features.

    character jaw line design aside ...hes still one of the best easily..his artwork comes off as gritty and cinematic..he would be one of my go to artist if I had to publish an epic story..
    alex ross is good ..but his superman/captain marvel comes across looking like a chubby used car salesman

    as far as realistic art work ben oliver >>alex ross

    Rex isn't one to take pictures of other ? 's ? , but this ? is the GOAT! It's easy for me to tell you who signature isn't on it as opposed to autograph is on it.
