Ok riffing off of Beccabear's thread, if you were starting a Comic HoF, what would your initial class of inductees be comprised of?
Let's say there are 4 categories, each with five entrants.
Category One-Comic Strip Characters
Category Two: Super-Hero Characters
Category Three: Non-Super-Hero Characters (from Comic Books)
Category Four: Comic Creators (comic strip or comic book, writer, artist, inker, letterer, editor, or what have you)
Let's put some guidelines in-all characters ahd to debut at least 25 years ago. All creators must have had their first published work at least 25 years ago.
Remember only 5 nominees per category. Who would get your nods?
I'll give my nominees in a post to follow.

I'd like to see a non-creator category. Max Gaines may have had more impact on comic books than any single creator. Not to mention his son. Martin Goodman. William Randolph Hearst.
Food for thought. Could even be a single person in each yearly class.
