The name that springs to mind when I think along these lines is Jim Steranko. He did only three CAPTAIN AMERICA issues, but his is still considered the definitive Captain America.
Plus a few Nick Fury backups in STRANGE TALES 151-168, Less than 5 issues of NICK FURY AGENT OF S.H.I.E.L.D., two X-MEN issues, a mystery story in TOWER OF SHADOWS 1, and a six-page romance comic story, I can't recall where. Plus two dozen or so covers and pin-ups for Marvel.
That's about it.

And yet he's still regarded as one of the grandmasters of the field.


What other artists would you place in the small output/ great influence category?
