Inkers, it also of course depends of who is the penciler, but i have two favorites: Terry Austin and Bob Layton.Some others are close (remember i speak only of my taste): Joe Rubinstein, Dan Green, Joe Sinnot Wally Wood...Jim Mooney... Mike Esposito...) Some i generaly like but think they sometime overpower the artist: Tom Palmer is one of these, though i like his work most of the time. Another one is Klaus Janson, that i don't like on Frank Miller but enjoy on JB or JRjr. Overall, i like Vince Colletta: his style is sweet, and i don't take in consideration that he erases figures (this is due to short deadlines and is not a question of style.) Nonetheless his inks can sometime look awfull, not only bad but filthy, like on some pages of Warlord.
On JB, Terry Austin is of course my favorite, and you can guess i don't share our host opinion of what Layton did to his art, i think Joe Rubinstein is the second best on JB, and Al Gordon was fine, Sinnnot is always good, Colletta on their one and only collaboration was ok, Dan Green is fine. Now, JB on JB: most of the time it's fine. He is a good inker for his own art. The only real reproach i had at a time in the early 90s was that because of this we didn't see often other inkers anymore on his pencils an i missed it. It's probably on Namor and O.M.A.C. that i enjoyed JB's inks the most.
