Wrightson could not sustain an ongoing monthly. But when he did mini-series like The Cult, he did not seem to have a problem finishing them on time. He did a lot of work that did not fit into the monthly comic mold. Actually, the first name that came to my mind was one of Wrightson's contemporaries who, like he and Kaluta, produced excellent work but didn't seem suited to a long-term monthly commitment, especially with full-length stories: Alan Weiss.

Yeah, I also voted 'other' for Garcia Lopez - I think his name should be on top rather than Neal Adams. Like kirby101, I'm a bit puzzled by his inclusion here, as I'd never seen/heard mention of Adams as a particularly slow artist. He was slow...and he admits that. But DC also felt he was better used on merchandising and on style guides. And those both suited his speed and paid better. So win for the artist. Well, that's the question with some of these folks: are they "slow" 'cause it takes them a while to get the work done or because they have other work that might pay better than "page rate"?

Also, with comics being a continuing narrative, you cant really rate specific issues of comics. If an issue is full of setup but not much happens, but the events pay off in a later issue, how do you exactly rate that? At least with wrestling matches, you can kind of seperate them from the angle, though sometimes again, you'll need the angle to get the full experience (for example, one of my favorite matches is Ultimate Warrior vs Randy Savage at Wrestlemania 7. While they do tell a story through the match, it's more fulfilling if you know the whole story behind it). The default to "continuing narrative" is what turns me off of a lot of comics. It's pretty frustrating to get to the end of a collection of five or six issues of a series expecting a complete story to discover it's all been setup. Examples: Sex Criminals, Public Domain, Everlasting Love.
