>art question for you: who do you think was the most influential comics artist of the eighties? I would go with Bill Sienkiewicz over say, Frank Miller, as the guy who experimented the most and took his art in all these different interesting places and influenced a lot of current guys. Also where in your pantheon of greats do you place Gil Kane? I personally have him all the way up there alongside Kirby.>

Most influential of the 80s? No question: Art Adams.

And Gil Kane is pretty great.

Art was pretty much foundational to artists like Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld as well, and probably the father of the Image style of the 90′s. He is still influencing today’s best artists; like Nick Bradshaw.

I would say Art is the most influential artist of the last 30 years.
