hmm I almost agree but elevate JRJR to good if not high tier. Mezieres and Cooke to high tier. Frazetta didn't draw many comics or many great comics but he's probably my favourite illustrator of all time so I'll allow it.
Frank Miller is God Tier in my world.

This is based on what exactly? A lot of the list would change if your criteria includes their composition and panel work and it's not fair to others because of their predominantly comic strip format. Toddfather is always No.1, baby. A number those in Low, OK and Good should be moved 1 or 2 slots higher. Also, Darwyn > Bruce. Always.Missing Hal Foster, Bernie Wrightson, Steve Rude, Alex Toth and Glenn Fabry.

God Tier or High Tier should also include Wally Wood and Sean Gordon Murphy as well. Sean's stuff on Batman White Knight was stylistically excellent and Wallace Wood draws some of my favorite comic book style women.

I would put Travis Charest in high tier, he just has a speed problem, but the results are worth it.
