I was going to start a thread about those awful inkers who ruin any book, but I... I... I guess I'll do-it another day! So here goes:

Steve Leialoha could make anything look cool!
Scott WIlliams, especially when he started-out.

KEVIN NOWLAN
He has a very distinctive style and can seem to show up who he inks over but still does make them look good. The only time I think he was really hard to spot was when he inked Mike Mignola for an Aliens oneshot.

Dan Adkins
Kevin Nowlan
Bill Sienkiewicz

Kevin Nowlan. Period.

Al Williamson. Krenkle helped form him into a classy, elegant draughtsman, and in inking he imparts class and elegance to whomever he's covering.
P. Craig Russell.
Tom Palmer.

Sometimes. Sometimes he ruins pencils.

I agree that Janson can ruin good pencils, but I think he can make bad pencils look decent. I am not a huge fan of his overall body of work, but he and Romita Jr. do look great together. I also like his work over Erik Larson.

Obviously, Nowlan is an inking Genius.

I think that Mike Manley is a pretty darn good inker. He can work over just about any style and he doesn't superimpose himself onto the pencils as much as Nowlan.

Wally Wood was a damn fine inker as well. Incredible, really. Like Manley, he could work over different looks.

Mark Farmer has to be considered one of the greats.
I would rank Whilce Portacio up there as well.

Mark Farmer was always my favorite.

But Knowlan is God-like as well...

Johnny Craig.
Jack Davis.

Granted, those guys never worked on others' pencils (as far as I know) but, man, could they work a brush!

by **Jarhead1** » Sat Jan 07, 2006 7:11 pm

Two under-rated guys in my opinion are Cam Smith and Wade VonGrawdbadger.

Lifields pencis are improved, every time some one inks over them. No matter who the inker is.
