Dave Gibbons is the cross-hatching king, and pre-dates Lee.


And Bernie Wrightson, P Craig Russell and Kevin Nowlan, etc. Who all predate Gibbons I believe. We probably don't want to get into the EC or Disney Artists. Or the fine artists for novel illustrations where all of the earlier artists drew their influence.

I agree that amongst the new breed of artists Williams' inking style was influential. Too influential in my world. I actually miss his inks on Whilce Portacio. I actually prefer Whilce inked by williams than Lee Inked by williams.
