I doubt all those French and Belgian guys I just voted for will show up in the final results... If you do still cast your vote, please don't forget René Goscinny, who wrote countless classics like Asterix, Lucky Luke, Iznogoud etc etc. While I don't agree these lists only reflect bad tastes, there is an obvious American centrism. (Original work for American publishers being the main thing. So plenty of British writers, etc.) In the past, the list has included Kazuo Koike, Alejandro Jodorowski, Rene Goscinny, Herge, and Moebius, though perhaps none as high as you may like. I fear my own votes do nothing to help this. |

Jodo and Moebius were the only non-American market producers on my list, but then most of my experience has been reading American market comics, so my favorites are biased in that direction by my experience.

While I have made efforts to familiarize myself with European creators, I have a ways to go, and familiarity does not equate to things I've loved for more than a decade. My knowledge of Japanese comics is pitiful.

They've started their reveal countdown today with artists 50-41.... CSBG countdown-M Not bad. 7 obviously great artists. 3 modern ones. As modern artists go, I think Coipel is solid and I don't know Ivan Reis much at all. Seems kind of like Jim Lee. Steve McNiven is a head-scratcher, but there will always be some. Nobody from my list yet. Should some of these have been higher? Barks? Toth? Perhaps. But only if people vote for them, and I voted for neither. Did you? One more vote could have knocked Curt Swan ahead of Steve McNiven. |

I've always voted in those polls in the past but didn't this time.
Coke is right that our vote does help by adhering to the Law of Large Numbers.

And that is indeed part of it. But also, some of the results are so close that one vote literally makes a difference. You may single-handedly knock Jeph Loeb down a space. |

So how have we been doing?
The writers aren't all the way to the top spot yet, but somehow I doubt René Goscinny is gonna show up.

Curt Swan should have been in the top 10, IMO.

Goscinny should have done a graphic novel with Stan Lee, too, and he coulda been a contender. Maybe Two-Gun kid.  Or Arabian Knight.  Or maybe Thor.  |
