Have to go with Curt Swan, and in a really tough choice, Byrne over Jurgens.

Wayne Boring and Dan Jurgens. Maybe an odd couple of choices but there you are.

Curt Swan. I didn't choose a second Superman artist, although there have been a few excellent ones over the years, because I feel that Swan towers over everybody else.

I actually preferred Neal Adams doing Superman than Batman.

Picked Swan as I think he's the definitive Superman artist, picked Steve Rude solely based on the fact I love his art.

It feels like everyone's listing their favorite law firm.

It may seem that way, but in fact they are stating the last names of various prominent comic-book artists.

Can't they be both? Lawyers by day, crime fighting artists by night?

While I never read a lot of Superman comics, I had to go with Curt Swan as the first option. And Because I didn't read a lot of Superman, most of the stuff I saw him in was his promotional material, thereby making JLGL my second choice.

Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez may be one of the best artists/draftsman of all time.

This one was really easy. Boring and Swan, both for quality of work, sheer volume of stories drawn, and childhood sentimental attachment.

I would add Jack Burnley to the list too. The best of the golden-age Superman artists, and obviously a strong influence on the cool 70s-era Wally Wood version:

Wally Wood drew Superman in the '70s? I do not remember that at all! Where did those appear? I need them.

I think Wood designer Power Girl during this run as well.
