1. Whats your favorite writer/artist team? Every once in awhile emerges Jagger/Richards type of collaboration in comics, where the the product yields more than a sum of it's parts, as they say. Here is on one for the start: Doug Moench/Bill Sienkiewicz (Moon Knight) Doug Moench... Man understands a hero/main character is as good as the Universe that he creates for him, side characters and all that. Here, in addition, the main character contains several characters... I don't know if whoever wrote the Fight Club got the ideas from here, but Doug created a sand-box that can be exploited to no end. Sienkiewicz's art is just spectacular. At that time he was still drawing conventionally with some color overlays for a stronger impact. Closeups, zoom-outs, you name it - it's all there. Bronze Age Blog: Moon Knight - Hit It!
2. Also, who would you team up? Artist/writer that never collaborated before, but would create the magic IYO. They must be alive (and not taken away to work on movies/video games ); they are actively in business. A fantasy match-up: I would put this guy who dre w Royal Blood, Dongzi Liu, on one of the remaining A Song of Ice and Fire adaptations.
EDIT: You can tell people who reading comics on a regular basis are thinking out of the box. So I am adding the 3rd category: 3. A Total Fantasy Match-up - Writers, artists who passed away (or are retired; moved to movies/video-games) are a fair game.

My ideal team-up also involved Doug Moench. Back during his late Bronze Age run on Batman and Detective Comics, I adored his writing paired with the pencils of both Don Newton and Gene Colan, Alfredo Alcala inking.

Moench also did some excellent Batman miniseries with Paul Gulacy on the artwork. Some of the best batman artwork I've seen - granted, I'm a huge fan of Gulacy's stuff.

Loved James Robinson and Paul Smith on The Golden Age and Leave it to Chance; would have liked to have seen more from them. I would love to see Robinson and Jerry Ordway tackle the Justice Society, in the Golden Age.

Dave Sim/Gerhard doing art for something of Jim Starlin's would be neat to see. Wouldn't matter what to me; I'd buy it.

Would it be unacceptably self-serving to say I'd like to see Jerry drawing the Golden Age JSA with meself at the typewriter/keyboard? Cei-U! As long as we're dreaming...

Favorite Team: Roy Thomas & John Buscema
Dream Team/Title: Jim Starlin & John Buscema on Silver Surfer
EDIT: Just realized you wanted an artist/writer who never worked together.
In that case, Jeff Parker/Jeff Lemire & John Buscema on Silver Surfer.

It's always been difficult to find artists to draw the Spirit properly, but for years I had the artistic dream team.
Pencils: Jim Mooney. Good standard anatomy, lovely women, but capable of doing scenes which are 'dark' and involve intense emotions.
Inks: Bill Loebs. His style is too cartoony for the Spirit, but his sense of line is the closest to Eisner of any other artist, and I think providing a gloss over a more realistic penciller you'd wind up with an approximation of classic Eisner.

Joe Kubert and Roy Thomas on Conan. Well, Roy is retiring the same way Sinatra was retiring, everything is possible.
