I was referring to comics artists.
While I like Stan Lee, it has certainly been argued that much of what Lee has been credited for was actually stolen glory from Kirby and Ditko.
But even if Kirby and Ditko actually got total credit for everything Lee's critics allege, I still say Lee did a hell of a lot to create the Marvel universe, and to make Marvel the giant that it is in the industry. Even subtracting the characters Kirby and Ditko created, Lee created tons of characters. For example, the origin of Doctor Doom from FF ANNUAL 2 (1964), I've never heard of Kirby alleging he created Doom or wrote the origin story. Or many other characters that are clearly Lee's.
So yeah, Lee was an enormous contributer by anyone's standards. But he isn't one of the top artists. If I were to add a 4th and 5th and 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th artist of the last 60 years, they would include Infantino, Steranko, Sekowsky (if for JLA alone, and Adam Strange), Swan, Anderson, Wrightson, and Kubert.
