John Buscema worked for a lot of companies before he came to Marvel (there's about 18 years between his first comic work in '48 and when he came to Marvel in '66) and finished his career doing a DC project...  so I am not sure it is fair to say he was purely a Marvel guy, though he is most identified for the period of his career he was at Marvel. Kubert's the same, he spent a lot of time at other companies before coming to DC (especially at St/ Johns, but a fair bit at Lev Gleason as well) and did a fair amount of work at Marvel in the 90s (usually inking one of his sons on their books). Romita did a fair amount of work at DC doing romance books before coming to Marvel as well. So a lot of the guys listed in the OP really didn't stay at one of the other, but moved where the work was, but their super-hero work is most associated with one company or the other, but that's not the same as staying at Marvel or DC exclusively. -M I wasn't award that John Buscema did another book for Dc other than this;  |

José Luis García-López supplied one piece of Wonder Man artwork for OHOTMU. Otherwise, he's never done any work for Marvel. I'm not sure if you can count this as work for Marvel  |

Curt Swan. too, did a single piece--Gladiator--for the Deluxe Edition of OHOTMU. Cei-U! I summon the ersatz Superman!
One of the reasons I'm not very fond of OHOTMU: they'd go to the effort of getting interesting artist choices on specific characters (like DC did in WHO'S WHO) and have them draw a static pose intended primarily to display the costume design. Yeah, if you look closely, you can spot Swan in the face here... ...but overall, the stunt fails, and with Joe Rubenstein's inks providing a consistent look, most of the characters might as well have been drawn by Al Milgrom. I mean, here are three more examples from the same issue. I'd be very impressed if anyone here could identify the penciler without resorting to either looking up the artist or remembering who drew what. These are three very distinctive and generally well-known artists, two of whom are not known for doing a lot of Marvel work:   Havoc by Dan Jurgens ? P Walker by Ramona Fradon ? |

He completed one issue of a project called Justice League Barbarians, but passed before the project was completed, and it was never published. The pages of original art, however, recently went up for sale at auction...    you can see more pages in the article about the auction at BCIt seems Big John was set to do a few projects at DC at that point in time, but passed before that plan came to fruition. I wonder how the perception of him as a Marvel guy would have changed if he had lived to complete those planned projects. -M |

Dick Sprang - Did some work for pulps early on, but otherwise career DC guy I believe.
Al Plastino - Technically a few issues of Marvel Mystery Comics early on! A few other publishers back in the 40's as well. But then settled into DC for the bulk of his career.
I did not realize that much later in the 70's Wayne Boring did a little bit of sporadic work for Marvel or I would have included him (plus contributing to the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe later in the 80's).

I've always thought Jim Aparo would have been a splendid artist on Spider-man.

I think Bill Mantlo only worked at Marvel. Mantlo scripted Invasion for DC. |

Reasonable guess, but no. Havok is by Dave Gibbons, Patsy is by Trina Robbins. And Grandmaster was by Rudy Nebres. Seriously, why even bother? It's like getting Paul McCartney to guest on your new album and you have him play tambourine. |

I'm not sure if you can count this as work for Marvel Marvel and DC each published half of the Amalgam one-shots, and that issue was one of DC's. |

According to the invaluable Mike's Amazing -- a godsend! -- Joe Sinnott inked ten stories and inked one cover for DC between November '57 and June '58 and contributed as one inker among many to a Superman-Spider-Man team-up book in 1981. Otherwise, between March 1951 and April 2008, he worked only for Marvel. Sinnott worked as a penciller for Charlton in the late 50s and early 60s, often inked by Vince Colletta. He also did some work for Dell. |

John Buscema's final project was for DC, though it never saw print. He completed one issue of a project called Justice League Barbarians, but passed before the project was completed, and it was never published. The pages of original art, however, recently went up for sale at auction... The inks by his granddaughter Stephanie on these are excellent. Very different from her own work: |

Since the Batman/Hulk crossover was mainly a DC affair, with just some editorial input from Marvel, yeah, Garcia-Lopez hardly did any work for the latter. However, said crossover gave us a tantalizing look at JLGL drawing some Marvel characters (Banner/Hulk, Shaper of Worlds, Doc Samson, a few members of Hulk's rogues gallery). Makes you wish he could have at least done the artwork in an annual or two (preferably a team book like Avengers, X-men, Defenders or FF).

I've always thought Jim Aparo would have been a splendid artist on Spider-man. Aparo would have been a great artist on any series! The only Marvel work I saw from him was a Capt America sketch. |
