Joe Sinnott
Joe Sinnott is the most celebrated inker in Marvel history. Inking is often invisible work, but Sinnott's was transformative: his confident, polished finishes over Jack Kirby's pencils gave the 1960s–70s Fantastic Four their crisp, powerful, definitive look — the polish that became Marvel's house style for a whole generation.
His decades-long run on the Fantastic Four, over Kirby and then John Romita Sr. and John Buscema, is the work he's remembered for; in omnibus form, the reproduction finally does that craftsmanship justice. His contribution to the look of classic Marvel is impossible to overstate.

His work runs through the classic Fantastic Four Omnibus volumes — the best way to understand why inking mattered.
