Curt Swan vs. Doesn't Matter.
It'll always be Curt Swan for me.
I feel like I owe him.

Romita for me. Swan's a great artist, but for me, Romita's a bit more iconic.

One man defined the look of DCs flagship character for 40 years. The other defined the look of the entire Marvel Universe, and took its flagship character to new heights. My gut says Romita, but my heart can't decide. I'll have to wait until Tuesday.

I'm a big Spidey fan, but not a huge Romita fan (I actually like his son's art better.). Swan, though, I always liked.

I vote for Swan.

I went with Romita. Might be my Marvel bias slipping in. I just enjoy the work of John Romita more. He did something I think few could. He followed Steve Ditko on Amazing Spider-Man and took the series to new heights. It could have been a huge failure after Ditko left. But John Romita remade Spider-Man and his world but did so in a way that makes it accessible to all.

Curt Swan was, is and always shall be a legend. I just can't choose him for this. I think he did great work. Definitely one of the best, if not the best, artists to draw Superman. Romita trumps that for me. It was a tough decision though.

I appreciate Swan's tenure, but it's Jazzy John for me.

Fixed election. The Romita pages are his iconic panels from important issues.
