Please don't say me, as always. But what writers or artists mean an instant, no-questions-asked purchase for you?

In terms of authors, hands down is Neil Gaiman. He has a deft touch with storytelling that appeals to me immensely. After him I'd say Garth Ennis and Warren Ellis. They are each brilliant in their storytelling.
As for artists Jim Lee is a fave but I'm not sure I'd buy a book simply because he was on it. I can't resist when Michael Kaluta or Michael Zulli do a book but they're not your regular comic artist types, same goes for Bill Sienkiewicz.

The team of Keith Giffen, J.M.Dematties and Kevin Maguire.
Dwayne McDuffie
I don't like everything Mark Waid has done, but I like enough that I will always give a few issues a try.

None honestly.
There are a number of creators whose work I respect immensley, but I wouldn't buy a project just becasue they were on it, or had created it.

Good point. If a creator I like is working on a character I don't like and don't care fore, I won't bother with it.

It changes a lot, but right now I'd say Bendis, Hine, Whedon and Jenkins. I'm pretty much certain to in some form try Millar, Slott and Miller as well.

Pretty much my stance, too (although I will give it a shot if it's not a character I know all that well). Just replace Jim Lee with Alan Moore on that last bit. Originally Posted by Mia

Sergio Aragones.
Stan Sakai.
Scott Shaw!
Ian Boothby.
Patrick Oliffe.
Jeff Smith.
Giffen, De Matteis and Maguire.
Kurt Busiek used to be on this list, but the Avengers Kang epic dropped him down to the "certainly will give it a look" list.
Likewise Perez.
20 years ago, John Byrne was at the top of this list. He's been on the certainly take a look list for about that long, though Spider-Man Chapter One almost pushed him off.
