 Len,

     I decided to put my vote on the net (I haven't started a
good argument in days).  Also, to insure a REALLY good argument, 
I will include my flame vote for the WORST in your categories.
  Onward:

    BEST TITLE:Fantastic Four, Thor, Alpha Flight
    BEST PENCILLER(sp?):John Byrne, Paul Smith, Walt Simonson
    BEST INKER:Terry Austin (forget the rest)
    BEST WRITER:Frank Miller, Howard Chaykin, Chris Claremont
    BEST GROUP:X-Men, Alpha Flight, Fantastic Four
    BEST MALE CHARACTER:Domenic Fortune (gone, but not forgotten)
    BEST FEMALE CHARACTER:Starfire

  And now (heh, heh) for the flames:

    Worst title:New Mutants (Does anyone really care about Chris
      Claremont`s adolescent charges?)
    Worst penciller(at least I`m consistent:Sal Buscema (Sal`s
      range of artistic talents could fill a book slightly
      smaller than one of intelligent comments by our dear Prez.)
    Worst inker:Mike Esposito and Jim Mooney.  Two oldies but
      baddies.
    Worst writer:Chris Claremont.  I have to give Chris this for
      his X-Babies and the space opera in the X-Men.
    Worst group:the Outsiders
    Worst male character:Peter Parker (not Spider-Man!).  Old,
      neurotic Pete has never had one tenth the personality of JJJ.
    Worst female character:The Winsome(?) Wasp.  To quote Elmer
      Fudd, "Wediculous."

  There you go.  Have fun folks.

                         Prepare to repel flames!

                                    Nigel the Voluminous
