Art + Illustrations in Comics

[Shorty]

We just published a post on The Unique Art of Contemporary Comics (http://www.mediaformisfits.com/2014/11/the-unique-art-of-contemporary-comics_8.html) on my blog (shameless plug), and it's spurred my want to discover more!

Who are some artists you revere in the comic industry? Are there any specific issues or storylines whose artists just seal the deal for you? Dave McKean's illustrations for Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth were like creepy, horrific, mood-altering magic for me when I discovered this story, and it completely made it come alive for me.
