Most overrated?
Jack Kirby.
His Marvel Age art is average at best, and after the Marvel Age, it's just bad. Make all the excuses for dynamism or backgrounds or imagination or energy or whatever you want, but his actual characters suck, IMO. Half the time, Mr. Fantastic is drawn to look more grotesque than The Thing.
I do not get the Kult of Kirby, I don't understand it, and I am not a fan of his art. His work was far, far, far below other silver age artists like Bruno Premiani, Kurt Schaffenberger, Mike Sekowsky even. But, Kirby is the so-called King, while hardly anyone remembers the other three superior artists
And let's not even start on Kirby's writing, because this isn't a most overrated DC Silver Age writer thread. But he tops the list there, too..
