Golden Age,circa 1938 to 1952.
Yes,Joe Simon and Jack Kirby were different people,but their art was signed Simon/Kirby,so that's how they're listed here.
These artists were all titans of the medium,all hall of famers,but Cole's my choice.

I went with Eisner, but Lou Fine was pretty awesome, too:

He's not listed, but Sheldon Moldoff gets my vote (much as I love Eisner). Really impressive.

I can't say he's the best on a technical level, but my favorite by a wide margin is CC Beck. 95% of my interest in Captain Marvel is based on the way he draws him.

I went with Raboy, since Capp and Foster were strip artists, and Frazetta had very little comic book output in the 40's.
With Fine's style, he could've been an underground comix king in the 70's.

Joe Maneely deserves a mention. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_ManeelyMy vote would go to "Bob Kane". Some of those guys were fantastic!

Bill Everett's Golden Age Sub-Mariner was horribly drawn, imo. I've never understood how it could have been popular.

So was Shuster's Superman and Kane's Batman. Shitty art was pretty standard for a while.

I like it too but it wouldn't really qualify as professional quality by today's standards.

No but, by the standards of its day, it was top notch.

This is a tough one for me. Raboy was the most beautiful artist, Eisner was a storytelling genius.
I have also become a big fan of Foster and his Prince Valiant.

Bill Everett. I love his Golden Age Namor, despite what Flameboy says. He's got this kooky thing going on that I think presages Ditko.
