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. Mike Ploog did a pretty good job, having been an assistant to Eisner, on PS Magazine. He did a Spirit pastiche in Maze Agency. |

2. Also, who would you team up? Artist/writer that never collaborated before, but would create the magic IYO. A fantasy match-up: This collaboration almost happened twice but sadly it never came to be. Gaiman talked about it on his blog " Remembering Moebius" after Jean Giraud passed away in 2012. |

I saw P Craig Russell at a con and he said he had no idea Alan Moore had named him as one of the artists who had worked on the fictional 'Promethea' strip. I showed him the issue! So my next would be Moore and Russell ideally on Promethea or ... maybe Russell could adapt Moore's unfinished opera about John Dee.

Would love to see Terry Moore's take on Spirit. And say Peter David story. |

It's hard to choose, but my favourite writer/artist team in comics is probably Stan Lee and John Romita on Amazing Spider-Man. Them's some damn great comics!
As for a never realised dream team, I'd like to see Alan Moore working with Will Eisner...or maybe with Doug Wheatly on some horror title.

Stan packed a lot of stuff there. I particularly liked how Peter Parker actually enjoyed being a Spider-Man (the other super-heroes were there out of vengeance, duty, morality, a need to maintain law and order etc). It's almost as if he liked his super villains. Hell it's understandable, his class-mates were much more sinister than Sinister 6. You have some new Moore's short stories, (genre not set in stone - there is horror, humor, paradox) in new mag Cinema Purgatorio. I didn't have time to examine more, maybe overpriced, but it's looking good. |

Spider-Man was there out of resposibility. With great power comes great responsibility. |

Spider-Man was there out of resposibility. With great power comes great responsibility. Of course, but bran is right in that Peter often seemed to love going out webslinging. How many times in Silver and Bronze Age comics did we see him swinging through the city, thinking to himself, "there's nothing like a spot of webswinging to clear the mind" or some such, when things were getting him down? I mean, when he wasn't thinking of giving Spider-Man up because of all the trouble that his alter-ego was causing in his personal life, of course.  |

John Wagner & Brian Bolland were just a perfect match for Judge Dredd.  |

I've been reading it from the beginning and should get to the two most recent issues later tonight. I'm hoping they collect the individual stories separately, because in my view there's a big gap in quality between what I consider the three good ones (Moore's, Ennis's, and Gillen's) and two others that aren't at the same level, or at least haven't clicked with me personally. |
