Covering what was published during the years 1960 to 1969,which is why Jack Kirby isn't listed,as his work first appeared in 1970.Missed it by that much.

For me it has to be Carmine Infantino but that's an all-star list so we're kind of spoiled for choice.

It would be a hard choice if Joe Kubert wasn't there.

For me, Ditko. The rest don't even come close.

They might have been better as a three-entry choice survey. Just saying.

Very top three to choose from all those great artists. I’m leaning towards Kubert and Swan.

I like them all. Lots of talent in that list. It would be hard to even rank them.

What Trevor said.

Steve Ditko is number one to me. Number WAN.

Curt Swan might be in more issues of my collection than any other artist.

But I had to go with Carmine Infantino because he was my favourite as a child when I was actually in the Silver Age. :)

It was a tough choice as these guys are among the very best the company and industry has ever seen. For my personal taste, it came down to Curt Swan and Neal Adams, and I ultimately voted Neal since I think he's an innovator and the better draftsman (which really says a lot since Curt is elite in that category).

I easily could have gone Ditko, but I actually think he did his best work for DC during the Bronze Age. Gil Kane could have easily taken the top spot as well, but since this is a "favorite" list and Green Lantern was never a favorite for me, he didn't quite get there. Russ Heath and Joe Kubert are both amazing as well, they just never did a single project I personally loved (though I quite like VIKING PRINCE).

Kurt Schaffenberger. Loved his art in the 60s. Hard to not choose Cardy or Adams, but I just really enjoy Kurt's Lois Lane art.

I do like Nick Cardy's work quite a bit.

The list is already in the correct order because it has Neal Adams followed by everyone else.

I don't think he totally hit his stride until the 70s. Maybe late 60s. I'd rate him 3rd behind Shaffenberger and Cardy in the 60s.
