Simonson also drew most of his own FF run. I think Rich Buckler did the Acts of Vengeance tie-in issues and of course Art Adams did the New Fantastic Four story arc but it's all Simonson other than that.

I only have excellent ideas
I feel like this queston is only tricky if you consign yourself to big 2 superhero comics because otherwise you'll never run out of choices-- tons of manga, tons of small press and indie stuff, a lot of Euro comics from Herge to Moebius, lots and lots of older newspaper strips, etc.

But for the sake of argument-- The Spirit, and Kyle Baker's Plastic Man.

Edit: Oh, duh. Jack Cole's Plastic Man too. Three cheers for Plastic Man.

This one's questionable since it definitely got to a point where Mazzuchelli was really doing the heavy lifting on the art. I wish I could find those penciled pages from that run.

Do you mean Klaus Jansen? Because Mazzucchelli was only involved with Born Again, and got full art credit. The last year or so of Miller's first Daredevil run does have an increasingly heavy contribution from Jansen though.

What I like about Mage is that it's an early effort by a talented creator in the early experimental days of modern indie comics. I enjoyed watching Wagner's craft develop and improve alongside the story.

Because good stories never involve author insertion or wish fulfillment. Wagner, Morrison, Alighieri: all hacks.

I just got Unbeatable Squirrel Girl beats up the Marvel Universe and I really hope that the comic book continues to be a thing forever, because I know as soon as it's cancelled some rear end in a top hat writer will kill Squirrel Girl just to prove how bad rear end his new villain is.

You guys are so thin skinned. I liked the first Mage series a lot.

However the level of transparency involved in mapping yourself the hero of a story can definitely bring a story down. He was skirting the edge but it isn't what made me lose interest in Hero Defined. I just think it lost a lot of the mystery that kind of made the first work so enjoyable.
