Okay, well I'm gonna make my pick, and try to figure some stuff out.
My last pick is the best comic book illustrator of all time, Jack Kirby.
He was a co-creator of Captain America, The Hulk, The X-Men, The Fantastic 4, and Thor.
He was a world-creator, and beyond sketching and creating totally BA superheroes, he created alien world, far away cities, towns, whatever, all from his pencil to paper.
He was also a World-War II veteran, serving as an advance scout in the European campaign, being tasked with scouting towns and landscaped ahead and drawing them in extreme detail using his artistic superpowers.
His campaign ended when he got severe frostbite in his legs.
