Hhmmmm.......that's a tough one. I don't think personally that Ploog or Russell do. Ploog is a diehard EC influenced artist and Russel's influences in art and storytelling are more from art nouveau than comics. The others have aspects that could be Kirby influence. Hard to say ,because what he did has seeped into so many of the cracks of this art form over the years that other artist may have co-opted some of his innovations and styles as their own , intentionally or unintentionally.
