    No question all 3 are great. But I have to go with the man himself....Earl Norem.

    All 3 are fantastic artists, true legends !

    But the artist that rose Eternia to the hightest level was William George in my opinion...

    I love all three and I think they're all equally brilliant. I had to go with Rudy, though, for his Castle Grayskull illustration.

    Earl Norem! I was in awe of those Golden Book covers as a kid. The Rock Warriors marching into battle against He-Man. The awesome battle scene in The Sword of Skeletor. All the covers are amazing. On top of that, the magazine covers and posters. Earl Norem brought realisim to MOTU for the kid in me. His art rules. Best MOTU art to this day!

    I voted for Mr. Obrero but growing up Earl Norem was the man.Actually wasn't too aware of Rudy's artwork until I got older.Would have loved to see Rudy's take on more than just the first wave figures.

    William George above all, but also Esteban Maroto (covers and posters in German comics) and Joe Chiodo (Mantisaur box art)...

    Among those three I pick George.
    I love his artwork especially on the boxes of Vintage MOTU vehicles.

    For me, there's just no topping Rudy Obrero's Castle Grayskull painting. Moody and magnificent!

    My favorite is probably William Garland even though it doesn't seem like he did very much motu art.
