We did a thread like this near the beginning of our time here, and my top choice then is still my top choice now
-Joe Kubert on a WWII era Captain America strip.
I's also like to see any of the following:
Steranko on a Dr. Strange saga featuring Eternity and other cosmic entities.
Matt Baker on a Birds of Prey story or a Black Widow adventure.
Alex Toth on Enemy Ace for an extended run.
Frazetta on Kamandi or a Savage Land feature with Ka-Zar, Shanna and lots of dinosaurs and other strange beasties.
Mark Schultz on a Conan saga (I have seen Schultz Conan illustrations but never a sequential run).
Wrightson on an extended Ghost Rider run.
Darwyn Cooke on an extended Doctor Fate run (the one story in JSA All Stars only made me want more, More, MORE!)
Wally Wood on a Black Widow espionage flavored series.
Dave Stevens on a John Carter/Dejah Thoris saga.
Jeff Smith doing Uncle Scrooge or Duck Tales stories.
Kaluta on an extended Kull run.
Mignola on an extended Solomon Kane run.
and...so many more.

George Perez on Firestorm This is one I was lucky enough to see and buy at the time, Flash #289, only 8 pages an issue but it was by George Perez.

I don't think Marvel ever found quite the right artist/inker combo for their John Carter book. I think Marie Severin might have been an interesting choice: from the sword and sorcery of REH to the sword and planet of ERB isn't a huge leap.
Of Course a Frazetta John Carter series, for any publisher, would have been a dream.

Steranko on a Dr. Strange saga featuring Eternity and other cosmic entities. Alex Toth on Enemy Ace for an extended run. Wrightson on an extended Ghost Rider run. Wally Wood on a Black Widow espionage flavored series. These four seem particularly inspired! It's fun just trying to picture them... More Alex Toth on Black Canary after the great two part story I saw in early '70s Adventure Comics would be cool as well. That one '80s Green Lantern issue he did was so unexpected and perfect!

I know there's some fondness for Jim Mooney, but just imagine if DC had put John Romita on the Supergirl feature in the 60's!

Would love to seen Kubert doing Marvel western "Kids" or a nice long run on Sgt. Fury. Some Black Panther Kubert jungle action would have been amazing. How wild could Sub-Mariner be under Kubert?

Or, I would have put Romita on Batman and Detective, say, from 1965-68, then return to the actual transition to artists such as Novick. Or, as Romita's art changed a bit in the early 70s, have him on JLA in that period. That would have been so explosive for the title.

We only got that brief appearance in Cap #110 and the cover of the Giant size Hulk. But a Steranko Hulk would have been incredible.

There were a lot of great pairings of character with artist in the Marvel and DC comics, but I've had a few artist assignments to characters that never were (at least not in a regular run) and filed away in my head... here are some I would've most liked to have seen, pretty much all rooted in the first half of the '80s... Michael Golden on Spider-Woman (based on seeing his version in Avengers Annual #10), also Ms. Marvel or The Defenders, but he didn't seem to go for superheroes, the covers he was doing were for Rom, She-Hulk, Doctor Strange, Micronauts, though there were some amazing Defenders ones too. And then of course there was 'Nam. Pat Broderick on The X-Men (did this ever happen? I think Nightcrawler's Micronauts appearance was just after Broderick left it), or the Ghost Rider! George Perez on The Flash, Green Lantern or Legion Of Super-Heroes based on the great covers he was doing with these characters. John Byrne on Hawkman (and Hawkwoman) which he did do a few times, but a early-mid' 80s run of the Thanagarian duo (Rich Howell seemed to have claimed the character for the '80s). Keith Pollard is another thought. P. Craig Russell on Doctor Fate. He did a great Doctor Strange annual! Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez on Doctor Strange (he did a fabulous Deadman). Alan Weiss on Shazam (The Marvel Family) where we only got to see one issue and that Amazing World cover. Terry Austin given a Ziggy Pig and Silly Seal one-shot. I'm hoping others have thoughts of their own, but it should be reasonable, that the artist could keep at least a bi-monthly frequency. George Perez on the Legion of Super-Heroes was the first thing that popped into my head. Right, Pat Broderick did not draw Nightcrawler on the Micronauts (that was Keith Giffen, Greg LaRocque, and Danny Bulanadi) and he also didn't do the X-Men & Micronauts miniseries, which was Jackson Guice. Michael Golden on Ms. Marvel or Spider-Woman is a good call! How about Neal Adams on the Satellite Era JLA? I'd go for that!

How about Neal Adams on the Satellite Era JLA? I'd go for that! With JLA work like this over the years-- --he would have been a memorable boost to the JLA interiors. Imagine him doing that for four or five years. Grand!

I bet Mike Ploog would've done a pretty amazing Spider-Man! If he has ever drawn him I haven't seen it.

As if Neal Adams would ever work on *anything* for five years! He did draw four pages of Justice League #93 if you want a tantalizing taste of what could have been.
Cei-U! I summon the tease!
