I was glad to see someone doing something other than nine-panel-grid, nine-panel-grid, six-panel-grid, but I still gotta say Neal Adams - for the obvious storytelling weaknesses, and he wasn't a Steranko-level constant innovator. But just because he's so highly rated to begin with! And his stuff gets a little over-wrought with the open mouthed emotion. Subtlety isn't *that* important if you're a superhero comic artist, but it's a little bit important, y'know.
John Romita was a good illustrator and really, really good at hot girls, but he wasn't a great *comic* artist in a lot of ways - His characters didn't really move in any sort of realistic space and he'd make the occasional strange storytelling decision.
Most under-rated: Severin, both of 'em. If we define "Silver Age" as starting in the mid-'50s, I'd say Everett. His best horror stuff was up there with Maneely and the EC bullpen. I'm with you guys on Don Heck, too... He was just obviously stronger on dark suspense and horror than the more childish superhero stuff. Likewise, I'll stick up for Werner Roth. Completely wasted on the X-men, but his '50s Jungle Girl stuff (reprinted in Masterworks!) was phenomenal.
But there aren't any Marvel Silver Age artists I actively dislike.
