For underrated, I'd offer Herb Trimpe, George Tuska and Werner Roth. Perhaps it's nostalgia talking, but those artists just epitomise early Marvel to me, alongside more obvious names like Romita and John Buscema. If you'd been reading issues by someone like Bob Brown or Don Perlin and then Herb or George came along, it was
such
a relief.
I was never crazy about Gene Colan when younger - something about the floppy anatomy - but I can appreciate his virtues now. Ross Andru was horrible and put me off Spider-Man completely, but I can't really call him overrated as everyone seems to dislike him. Sal Buscema is another whose work just looks
Marvel
, but is so formulaic. I suspect you could take something like a couple of dozen of Sal's panels, shuffle them and redraw the heads, and you could reconstruct virtually any of his issues: the extended hand, the striding walk, the sweeping blow, the flying body..
I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me, Superman!
