I'm more fond of realistic-looking art, not like Sam Keith. Joe Jusko is my definite favorite. Probably closely followed by Alex Ross.
Here's my favorite of Jusko's...

Nice, Jusko is fantastic. One of my favorite book that he worked on, cover and all interior painted artwork was Tomb Raider, the Greatest Treasure of All. Ok writing but the art is perfectly done by Jusko. A few month back a auction site had over 4 pages from the book but way out of my budget.
My first thought was Alex Ross, enjoy most of his work but times his covers have lots of things going on that sometimes losses me. Kinda like some of George Perez's covers, with lots of characters on the cover.
One choice would be Steranko. Of course Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD covers by him rank high for me but his few covers for X-Men shine also.
I like Jim Lee's art but many of his covers the characters all have the same poise, Superman and Batman covers seemed recycled. How many covers of Batman he did have him looking on a edge of a building?
Alex Ross and Steranko I guess are tops for me.

Yep! Jim Steranko is cool. Nick Fury, Agent of Shield #6 is memorable. Ka-Zar #34 (1981) is a nice homage to that cover. I haven't got that one yet.
Jack Kirby is a given & so is Steve Dikto.
But for me as always is Frank Frazetta. I only own one book of his is Eerie Magazine #2.
Plus other Magazines that reprint he's covers.
One day i'd like to get an original cover of his. Robbie has one that a favorite of many collectors.

I don't have a favorite, but I like any cover that is well done and rendered without a cartoon style of art. It doesn't have to be photo-realistic. I like Jusko's and Alex Ross paintings, but sometimes something small will set it off and I'll like it a lot.
Some covers I like a lot:
Epic Illustrated #6 - I like the elaboarate tentacles.
Psychoanalysis #3 - I like the eyes
Shock Suspenstories # 16 - I like the use of light & shadow
War Dancer #1 - The orange clouds
I liked it enough to buy the color art:
I'm sure there are countless others I like.

I should've mentioned Frank Frazetta in my post. Joe Jusko's my favorite living artist after Frazetta died.
I'll probably take flak for this, but I never liked the mouths and body poses of some of Jack Kirby's work. I was reading an old Machine Man recently, and all the soldiers in this full-page panel had the same face. By contrast, in an old Ditko comic, every face in the background crowd was different.
That Shock Suspenstories # 16 is ART. Not a drawing, but ART! You're right about the lighting, shading, shadows.

I am a big fan of Steven Hughes, but it is unfortunate that not only does Chaos! comics no longer exist, it is sad to know that such an amazing artist passed away so early. I will keep rockin' your comics and art MR.HUGHES for ever!!

Did anyone mention Dave Dorman?
(I would like some Jusko art. )
Late 70s isn't Kirby's best work. And he gets bonus points for the sheer volume of work.
Recent Ditko covers aren't awesome. They should probably count as Underground Comics because he's working so hard at keeping them out of mainstream outlets.

It is one of the best pre-code Frazetta covers.

Joe Jusko has done an exclusive cover for a reprint of G.I. Joe #21 (the silent issue) coming out next month.
It's only available through 1st Print Comics (https://www.facebook.com/1st-Print-Comics-120209043578/).
They WILL be taking my money!
