I'm going all Silver Age with my response...
Good - John Romita
Bad - Jack Kirby.
John Romita's women are all beautiful looking, but they also have a strength and a dignity to them that typify the very essence of womanhood (if I may be so pretentious).
Jack Kirby's artwork might make for dynamic superheroics, but it also makes for decidedly butch, ungainly and un-ladylike females.

Taking a cue from the description of Greg Land (though he<d fall into the bad/bad category for me), I'd add:
good:
early (70s) George Perez
bad:
mid (80s) George Perez
I think the later Perez, from around the late-90s onwards, lies somewhere in between but more good than bad.

Whaaaa?!! I don't have the biggest stack of his work but I think his female form of Ship in the B&W magazine size (Marvel Premiere?) of Star Lord was great! |

I have to disagree with those who find Ditko and Kirby bad at drawing women. Within the highly stylized visual contexts of their respective imaginary worlds I find their female characters can be very attractive. I thought Ditko for example gave Clea beautiful dancer's legs in the early Dr. Strange, and Kirby's Crystal seemed extremely attractive to me as a very young reader. Barda and Beautiful Dreamer come to mind as well.
