Another I'm surpised no one mentioned is
Jeffrey Jones.
The first things I noticed by Jones were some covers for WONDER WOMAN issues 199 and 200.

https://comiconlinefree.com/swamp-thing-1972/issue-9Jeffrey Jones' wife in that early period was Louise Jones. And obviously with Jones turning coming out as gay, that relationship didn't work out in the long run. Louise Jones is immortalized by Wrightson on the cover of HOUSE OF SECRETS 92, and in the enclosed first "Swamp Thing story in that issue. Kaluta's appearance was used as photo-reference for the villain in that story.
Louise Jones eventually remarried and became Louise Simonson.
Jones was mostly on the periphery of mainstream comics, and more of a contributor to titles like NATIONAL LAMPOON and HEAVY METAL, CREEPY, EERIE, VAMPIRELLA, and later books like TWISTED TALES, ALIEN WORLDS, and PATHWAYS TO FANTASY.
But Jones is best known for his paintings, one of the four comics artists who breach the realm of fine art with their 1970's posters and limited edition prints, works collected in the book THE STUDIO (1979), from the years of the studio he shared with Kaluta, Wrightson and Windsor-Smith.
My mother, a patron of the arts, was most impressed by this image from THE STUDIO book when I gave her a copy in 1980. So I got her a copy of the poster available then from Bud Plant, and she's had it framed and on the wall in her home for 40 years now.
