Why...why would he be wearing his Blind Man Shades under his mask? Or does he pull off his Matt Murdock mask to reveal, that he's Bruce Wayne? Or Spider-Man?

Don't have a favorite. Way too many good and great artists, too many genres, and so any decades to choose from. And when you say "artist", what do you mean? From pencils? Inks? Full-colored work? Inkers and colorists can make a significant difference, enhancing or spoiling a piece.

That said, do or die, gun to my firstborn's head...Kirby (and making that choice felt like cutting off my right arm, for all the artists I didn't name). He's not confined by genre, he was a ground-breaker, and Founding Father of modern comics. The older I get, the more I like his work -- in a decade or so I imagine I will be sacrificing virgins on an altar in his name (so expect a visit from me, Yea Forums, sometime in the future -- gotta get my virgins somewhere).

Probably Mignola.

literally go without saying
