Bernie Wrightson influenced subsequent horror artists, didn't he? One would think so ... Kelly Jones, for example, if he's considered a horror artist. But perhaps not as many as one would have supposed from his talent and popularity. I'm not sure there are many artists out there capable of the kind of detailed line-drawing techniques Wrightson used. Jones's work looks to me like a crude exaggeration of Wrightson. |

Early Arthur Suydam looked like Wrightson, but later seemed to be more influenced by Arthur Rackham. Similarly, early Wrightson was very influenced by Frazetta, but that became his gateway for older illustrators like Franklin Booth. |

Neal Adams was obviously a huge influence on most modern artists who shoot for a quasi-photo realistic look, but the two that stand out the most for me are John Byrne and early Bill Sienkiewicz. Mike Grell was a straight up Neal Adams clone when he first started. |

In direct influence, Jidéhem was the mentor of quite a few European artists. Most well knowns being Peyo (creator of the Smurfs), Moebius (creator of Blueberry and many, many other things), Franquin, Morris and many others.

And it's probably safe to say that Osamu Tezuka had a huge influence in Japan. Segar, Kurtzman, and Barks were probably big influences (or, maybe, inspirations would be a better word, since often the final artwork might look very different). When I asked Jack Davis about his influences, the first name he mentioned was Walt Disney. |

I can definitely see the work L. B. Cole did for various publishers being influential. Star Publications:  Novelty Press:  Tem Publishing:  Aviation Press:  Rural Home Publications:  Narrative:  Four Star Publications:  |

If Neal Adams drew with his foot. Ha Grell told me at a store appearance that he basically learned to draw by copying Adams.
Sienkewicz (not looking up the spelling) was an Adams clone, and a good one, early on. Later, he picked up more on illustratos like Bob Peak (we can argue later if that's an appropriate style for comics.)

Neal Adams' influence is clear in Grell's work, which is a really poor attempt at mimicking Adams. Sienkiewicz's early phase is obviously the work of a very competent Neal Adams clone. His later, far more expressionistic work is vastly superior. There's no argument about what's "appropriate" or not to a medium. Any artist can and should create what they want - the debates come when we fuss about what we like or don't like within those vast possibilities of what can be done within the medium. |

Kirby is the first name that comes to mind. Neal Adams is another good choice. Since Curt Swan was the Superman artist for so long, I wonder if he influenced any DC artists?

Yeah, I think that Adams and Sienkiewicz were the first major influences at Marvel after Kirby too. |

The image gang had their imitators.
