In the latest Superman Homepage Member Poll we asked you the following question:
Who is your favorite Superman comic book artist of all time?
We ran this same poll back in November 2018… and received a completely different result. Back then your favorite Superman comic book artist was Alex Ross, just ahead of Dan Jurgens, with Curt Swan in third place. This time around in March 2022, fans have positioned Curt Swan in the top spot, with Dan Jurgens again coming second, with John Byrne in third place. Interesting how voting changed.
Here’s the complete voting breakdown:

I did a write in for Shane Davis mainly because of his work on Superman: Earth One and Superman/Batman kryptonite storyline.
I love Curt Swan’s work, but it was his pairing with Murphy Anderson that took the artwork over the top. “Sanderson” all the way! *Though I have read he preferred working with Al Williamson.
Curt Swan’s work always got the job done, but I always felt that was just it. Utilitarian. I am a HUGE John Byrne fan, but I have to say Jose Luis Garcia Lopez’s art always popped the most for me on Superman. To be fair, Jose Luis Garcia Lopez is just plain great.
