Would Jerry Bingham count? I remember him taking over
Black Panther from Jack Kirby.

Wow. I didn't realize Lightle passed away. Remember his X-Men Classic covers.

I'd say Kerry Gammill. I know he worked in the field for a solid 12 years, and came back intermittently in the 90's for Superman projects, but always felt he should have made a bigger splash.

Mike Carlin was interviewed recently for the Superman Homepage and he was of the opinion when he brought Kerry to Superman that e would be the next great Superman artist, but did say that Gammill did find the monthly deadlines a struggle.

Two guys that were a big part of my childhood were Frank Robbins and Herb Trimpe--and then they were gone!  Long before death or retirement.

I still see a lot of familiar names when I go to cons.  Mark Teixiera comes to mind--I always thought his style was ahead of the curve as far as coolness went, but I haven't seen his name in a comic for 20 years--except for the JONAH HEX/YOSEMITE SAM special in 2017, which was great.  He should by drawing MOON KNIGHT right now, or a number of other books.
