Howard Chaykin twice?

And we had already established Alan Moore and Grant Morrison are the best ever. What's new about this?

Anyone who thinks that Stan Lee isn't the best comic book writer ever is crazy.

Based on a quick glance, there's also no Gardner Fox, Bill Finger, Harvey Kurtzman, Carl Barks, John Stanley, or Jerry Siegel. Comic fans are delightful in their ignorance of history.

Grant Morrison is the lens flare of the comic book writing field.

85 through 51 aren't yet filled in, so we can imagine that all the remaining great writers will be there. (Which would still leave them way too low on this list, but ....)

They should designate 85 - 51 as "everyone else" just to piss off 86 - 125.

That's what I get for just taking a quick glance and not paying attention. Still, why isn't Joe Gill in the top ten?! I bet he wrote more stories than everyone else on this list combined.
