Not that Mr. Gogos needs any help in this poll, but here is another uncommonly good effort on his part:

Frank Frazetta was also well adept at doing more light hearted material:

This is and always was my favorite Mad Monster Party art.

Though I think the picture above is really cool, I don't like Frazetta's cover to Vampirella 1 at all:

This James Bama painting that initially appeared on the poster inserted into the Aurora kits to advertise the company's monster building contest is iconic:





It was later used as part of the box art for the Aurora Gigantic Frankenstein kit as well as for the cover of the 1965 Famous Monsters of Filmland Yearbook.

Yeah, unfortunately the feet are a little off. Shows even Frank was human I guess. We have to remember that he was ripping pieces of wall off in his basement and knocking out many of those Warren cover masterpieces in one night just to make some survival money. He'll always be THE MAN to me.

Wow. Basil is kickin' ass in this poll.

I lie them all, but I voted for Franzetta.  It was a tough call.

I can't believe that James Bama isn't drawing more votes here.

You monster lovers should all consider yourselves lucky that I didn't throw the great Jack Davis into the mix as well.

Bama. Those original Aurora kit painting are awesome. Gogos comes in second. Some of my favorite Famous Monsters covers are by artists other than Gogos.

Doh!

Eenie... Meeny... Miney... BASIL!

But yeah, all 3 kick butt! Now, had you actually made Jack Davis part of the poll, he'd be MY no. 1.

In retrospect omitting Jack Davis constituted unpardonable negligence on my part.

Well, from someone who has collected original art for quite some time,  all 3 are true masters.  It is the style of interpretation of the subject matter that sets each apart.  And this also includes Jack Davis mentioned above.  In my opinion, Frazetta has a much different style to his paintings, while Bama and Gogos, while maybe not quite the same, are on par with amazing realism.  As Buzzybean mentioned above,  other artists are deserving also for their work, the Vampirella covers of Enric, the FM covers of Adkins,Cobb,Ken Kelly, even Nuetzell, while not in the category of the big 3,  made us smile with his renditions of monsters for some of the FM covers. With the amazing amount of actual works produced by these artists back in the day,  it is astounding that they produced masterpiece after masterpiece in the way they did.  Those of us who are a bit older are truly lucky to have grown up with their works as they became the newest cover, or the newest box art of the time.
