Will Simpson

John Ridgway, for his incredibly atmospheric art on so many stories, from Dice Man to the Dead Man to Luke Kirby.

The late Edmund Bagwell, for Cradlegrave, one of if not the creepiest story in the Prog's history.

[The Legendary Shark]

Frank Quietly and Garry Leach.

John Ridgway is the immediate pick, and a personal favourite - The Dead Man, Summer Magic and the unforgettable Raggedy Man are all classics of the highest order.
The second choice is tougher, but I'll go for Mr. Kitsune - Edmund Bagwell. As with Weston in the other thread, he gave John Smith's fevered dreams a grounding in reality. Plus - Joovs N the Hood!

Aaaagh. Er, argh, er...

OK, even based on just his work at the time (and nothing since) Frank Quietly gets first pick.

The next one is more difficult. I love Fregrado but his prog work is very limited.

It's a tossup between Ridgeway and Simpson...

No, I love War Machine, but Dead Man and Luke Kirby are stellar.

John Ridgway

John Ridgway all the time
And Edmund Bagwell - he actually made me interested in reading the 10 Seconders.
-lot more consensus on this thread than I'd've expected.

Raggedy Man Ridgway and Frank "Shimura" Quitely for me, thanks.

Ridgway and Bagwell. But that list is ridiculously over-talented!
