	Which would be better, to be a one hit wonder with Superman (arguably the most recognized comic) like Siegel and Shuster or be more like Lee or Kirby with multiple comics? Discuss

	Zalx:	May 15th, 2009 at 17:41 GMT	2 points
	Lee by a mile. If Superman is top, everything else that follows is Lee (excluding Batman). Fairplay to Siegel and Shuster for creating probably the worlds most famous superhero, but I'd rather have Spiderman, XMen, Hulk etc under my belt any day!

	Lee...cause then you get to put yourself in every movie involving your creations. Jackpot.

	didn't know the guy who created Wonder Woman was a doctor. and the first time Siegel/Shuster used the Superman concept, he was a villain - The Reign of the Superman. They later turned him into a force for good.

	If Kurtzberg is going to be accepted, Lieber should also.

	Too bad Siegel/Shuster weren't able to have cameos in the original Superman films from the 70's & 80's. They were alive until the early/mid-90's.

	Stan Lee came back? Stan Lee never left.

	Nice mix of comics, not sticking to just Marvel and DC. Only ones I missed were the third in the Sandman and Watchmen lists. What did those guys do? BTW, Siegel and Shuster were no one-hit wonders. They created a number of other comic book characters of lasting popularity - their detective, Slam Bradley, lasted as a feature in Detective Comics for 12 years - but of course, Superman far overshadows anything else they'd ever done.

	@mungar - I'll give you a one up for the comic book guy reference.

	Glad to see Bill Finger accepted as a bonus answer on Batman. DC (and Bob Kane's) refusal to formally acknowledge this co-creatorship is one of the most shameful incidents in comics history.

	mjenks:	May 15th, 2009 at 20:45 GMT	3 points
	Wasn't the Sandman created by someone else in the DC front office and then Gaiman picked up the little known and seldom used character (same with Death) and wrote a series on him (and his siblings)?

	mjenks:	May 15th, 2009 at 20:46 GMT	1 point
	Er, not that I'm going to short-change the brilliance that is Neil Gaiman.

	guyleguy:	May 15th, 2009 at 20:47 GMT	2 points
	I'd hate to be Siegel and Shuster. Had they retained the Superman rights, they'd be multi-billionaires by now.

	MRL:	May 15th, 2009 at 22:22 GMT	1 point
	@MattJ: To the best of my knowledge, no. There were characters named Sandman in the DC Universe (standard superhero types), but the particular version which Gaiman wrote about was new and distinct.

	Havok3595:	May 15th, 2009 at 23:09 GMT	2 points
	Gaiman's Sandman was original to him, but DC's front office was actively looking for a property to slap that name on to protect the copyright. And original Sandman did appear in it a few times. Also, I think Finger shouldn't be a bonus, but a regular answer.

	ZeppoMarxist:	May 15th, 2009 at 23:17 GMT	6 points
	Bill Finger shouldn't be a bonus answer. He created Batman as much as Kane did.

	magister:	May 15th, 2009 at 23:40 GMT	1 point
	Gaiman also wrote some stories with Silver Age Sandman. There's one in "Midnight Days."

	Siegel and Shuster really got screwed over. Poor guys.

	Ah, Groo the Wanderer. Did I err?

	Great quiz! I have put together another one focusing on indie comics creators here http://www.sporcle.com/games/guydiborneo/indie_comics_creators.

	I don't think John Higgins should be on this list.
