10 artists that make you want to spend $$.

Curious as to what artists make you want to buy their books almost immediately.

Mine are in no particular order:

John Buscema: classic

Jason Fabok: best of the modern group IMO

Bernie Wrightson: master of anatomy and creating suspense

Norm Breyfogle: who I think of when I think of Batman

Claudio Castelini: love his stylized figures

Ron Lim: THE Silver Surfer artist

Mitch Breitweiser: modern with classic sensibilities

Olivier Coipel: the guy who can do anyone

Francis Yu: the other guy who can do anyone

Mike Mignola: so original yet he tells a story with his art sort of like Bernie.

Forgot about Simonson...crap. He’s responsible for my all-time favorite omnibus.

I like artist that "set the bar" for other artist, at least at their time period...

1) John Byrne
2) George Perez
3) Neal Adams
4) Bernie Wrightson
5) Barry Winsor-Smith
6) Todd McFarlane
7) Art Adams
8) Tim Vigil

.....can't think of more lol...and I know I've omitted some big names that most would consider influential like Kirby and Romita..

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.
