Sal is my childhood so my nostalgia always goes there, but I think Trimpe is the classic.

Other for Jeff Purves for his waaaay to short of stint doing Joe Fixit in David's Hulk run.
Close second would be Herb Trimpe. He really attracted me to older Hulk comics when I bought Warlock's appearance in issues #176-178.
I do like McFarlane, though that is an unpopular opinion. He's a monster; a literal Hulk. And I thought McFarlane did well in bringing out the monstrous look of a hulk with his own style.

The Hulk has had so many great artists. Tough to pick one. Do you go with the classics like Kirby or Trimpe or Sal Buscema? Or do you pick a more modern look by Dale Keown or Gary Frank or Romita Jr?
For classic era I vote Sal. For modern times Gary Frank.

Trimpe Trimpe Trimpe
Tales to Astonish #90 to Hulk #200 is one of my Top Five long runs in all of comics, and it’s mostly Herb Trimpe.

Tough call between Kirby, Marie Severin, and Trimpe for me. The classic look was Trimpe with Severin, but there's something menacing and brutal about Kirby's very early version that no one else has ever captured.

For me Trimpe is THE classic Hulk artist. I don't know if anyone portrayed the massive power of the Hulk better than Steranko did in Captain America #110. And then of course there was THAT cover.  |

John Byrne, as always, though Sal & his brother are up there for sure.
Edit: specifically, Byrne's late 70s Hulk:

I voted for Our Pal Sal. He was the Hulk artist during my formative years (though I never was a big Hulk fan). Well Sal was on the regular book, but Trimpe's reprints were all over the place at the time. I actually quite disliked Trimpe's work back then, though I've come to appreciate it as I've matured.

Agreed. The Hulk is supposed to be some raw, untamed force that should send average people running for their lives, and that demanded the vision of artists who could best capture that power and terror. As you pointed out, Steranko delivered all of those visual and emotional elements unlike so many. Then, there's: John Buscema ( The Avengers Special #2, September, 1968), who created such a wild beast of a Hulk...  ...and John Romita Sr. ( The Defenders #10, November, 1973), who created one of the greatest single images of an overpowering, brutal Hulk ever put on paper...  Then, there's Bob Larkin, who painted this spectacular cover (from a Romita layout) for The Incredible Hulk TPB (Fireside, 1978)...  Trimpe was a great Hulk artist, and certainly gave the character a unique style apart from other Marvel titles, but others were able to seriously up the level of fright and power of the character. |

I voted other. My favorite Hulk as a kid was in the pages of Rampaging Hulk, as done by the team of Walt Simonson and Alfredo Alcala. Even to ths day, those black and white pages stand out as among my favorite depictions of the Hulk...   -M |
