Like in the case of Dave Cockrum's art, I also prefer Joe Staton as an inker.
Staton inked INCREDIBLE HULK for about a year in 1976-1977.
Cockrum around the same time inked JOHN CARTER WARLORD OF MARS for Marvel in 1976, as well as inking Starlin on CAPTAIN MARVEL 26, and some issues of AVENGERS (106-108 in 1972, 124-126 in 1974). Staton after inked AVENGERS 127-134 in 1974-1975.
As a penciller, I like Joe Staton best on E-MAN 1-10 for Charlton, many of which I also love for Byrne's Rog-2000 backups. Staton was also well-suited to draw Plastic Man and Metal Men, that allowed him to stretch normal comic book "realism" with a little playful cartoonish charicature. I saw some of Staton's ALL-STAR issues, but only a few.
And yeah, it's amazing how well Neal Adams' work has aged. 50 years now, and it never seems to go out of style (check out my approaching-complete checklist in the
Neal Adams topic, I think the best and most accessible guide to Adams stories you'll find anywhere!)
Whether Batman, Deadman, X-MEN, GL/GA, Avengers, Conan... Neal Adams' work on just about every series he illustrated on is or approaches being the definitive version. Byrne has said in interviews that Adams' 9 issues on X-MEN are the template Byrne used for his own run on the series.
My only complaint with Adams' stories is usually the writing that accompanied it. But his pages are flawless, and suitable for framing.
