Wasnâ€™t he doing one of the Superman books for a little while until it got leaked that someone was re-drawing his work to polish it up?

Byrne’s departure from DC sounds more political than anything, due to his balking at an assignment after it was announced that he was doing it.

Granted, they changed the assignment from what he first signed up to draw to a totally different project, so I think it was quite reasonable of Byrne to balk at doing the changed assignment, but as soon as it happened, Byrne suddenly was no longer drawing the monthly Atom book after three issues.

Funny, thatâ€™s exactly why I wouldnâ€™t want Frank Miller to go into movie-making full time.

It’s also the reason why I shudder to think about Miller directing The Spirit.

I second Herb Trimpe. He was, and will always be the man.

Heâ€™s just become a parody of himself.

I’d like to see Chaykin put back in the box as well, if only because everything he does is exactly the same as everything else he does. Every character he takes over he makes over into American Flagg. Even Sam Simeon!

I’d like Frank Miller to go into movie-making full time for the same reason. He’s just become a parody of himself.

Iâ€™d love to see Byrne do a regular book again

I’d agree with most of the choices, but I’m surprised it took until 34 for John Byrne to get mentioned.

I’d love to see Byrne do a regular book again, with a tough editor and a good writer. I enjoy his work more when he works with other strong personalities than when he’s let loose on his own. The same type of creative conflict that made the Lee/Kirby or O’Neil/Adams collaborations so good.

FOURTHWORLDER: I wholeheartedly second your vote for Wrightson on Dr. Strange. Ploog would be great on the title as well.

Sal Buscema gets my vote as well.

Sal Buscema, of course. Paul Smith. Walt Simonson. Neal Adams. Most certainly Frank Brunner (superb Doctor Strange!) And yes, Mike Grell, preferably on LSH.

Sadly, the first two people I thought of were Dave Cockrum and Marshall Rogers. Damn it. Add me to the Steranko and Windsor-Smith list. I’d say Walt Simonson, but he’s been drawing a lot more lately already.

Seconds (or thirds or fourths) for Sal Buscema and Michael Golden. I would love to see more Mike Ploog horror work, as well.

I’d love to see Keith Giffen and Jim Starlin return to drawing some of the stories they write, too.

If I could get even one new Thor arc out of Roy Thomas, Keith Pollard and Bob Layton, I’d plotz.

Despite all the controversy, Micahel Golden.

And I would love to see someone coax Jose Luis Garcia Lopez onto a monthly superhero book.

John Byrne! No, not the way he is now, the way he was then. I used to love his stuff! Can you make it so the last twenty years didn’t happen?

And I used to often imagine Berni Wrightson doing Doctor Strange, much as I loved Frank Brunner.

And Barry Smith should do the death of Conan, if that hasn’t been done already.

Thought of a another one-

Jerome Moore- he did some amazingly detailed work on a couple books like World’s Finest and New Titans, did some Star Trek covers…and then disappeared. I would love to see him doing some more comic work.

MIKE GRELL

Most, if not all of the artits mention have at least done some work for the Big 2 in the past 4 years, give or take.

Personally I’d love to see some of the great Filipino artists that DC and Marvel used draw something at least. If Nestor Redondo were alive, I’ve so love see him do something. Also Rudy Nebres, and Tony DeZuniega (even though he did some brilliant Jonah Hex work lately).

Others I’d love to see draw something that haven’t been on the radar during the 70s/80s:
Esteban Maroto
Jack Davis
Rick Buckler
Will Elder

Hey, we can dream, can’t we?

Simonson on Aquaman.
Kaluta on Hellblazer.
Russ Heath on anything he wants.
