This will probably be a popular choice among lots of possible good choices. My favorite comic book writer is Neil Gaiman.
Gaiman uses mythology and symbolism beautifully in his work, creates memorable characters, and delivers great stories. He does it without needing to resort to shock and extreme violence on every pages, but has still written some of the most horrifying sequences in comics when the needs of the story called for it. He deals equally well in horror and beauty, and he is probably singlehandedly responsible for bringing a huge number of new readers to American comics.
From My Creations
Okay, a bit biased here because I'm married to her. My choice is my co-writer on Zephyr & Reginald: Minions for Hire, Gynn Stella. She's also the writer for many of the Dandelion Studios minicomics.
I write genre fiction and (hopefully) play around with the familiar themes enough to make it seem interesting and perhaps a bit original.
Gynn invents her own genres.
She tells amazingly original stories through her comics, and can make the most mundane of experiences into compelling comics storytelling. She's got a great talent for catching details and for looking at the world from unexpected perspectives.
