In a previous response you wrote that Stan Lee is "...certainly the most well-known comic book creator, the person that somebody from outside of our industry is most likely to recognize." I'm a huge Stan Lee fan (meeting him oh so briefly at Boston Comic Con back in August was a major bucket list moment) but who would you consider to be the second most well-known comic book creator? Who would you pick as the next most recognizable "somebody from outside our industry" alive and/or passed?

Answer:

ungoliantschilde:

kurtbusiek:

That’s a very good question. These days, Joe Quesada maybe.

Dude! Sergio Aragonés!

Sorry guys, it would have to be Frank Miller.

Niel Gaiman surely would be up there
