In the latest Superman Homepage Member Poll we asked you the following question:
Who is your favorite Superman comic book writer of all time?
When we ran this poll in 2018 we received the same result. Once best known as an artist, Dan Jurgens once again came out on top as your all-time favorite Superman comic book writer, beating out John Byrne, Grant Morrison, and even Jerry Siegel.
Here’s the complete voting breakdown:

Dan Jurgens handled the Death of Superman so beautifully. Not sure how well it would have been handled by anyone else, so perhaps he has the edge, but right on his heels, for me, is Jerry Siegel.
