My Favorite Creators

For my first real post I thought I'd take a page from other  bloggers and make a list of my favorite creators of fiction, whether movies, comics, books, games etc. The list is an alphabetical order and is by no means complete, since I'm bound to forget someone (I may go back and add new names to it, depending on how I feel). Anyway, these are the men and women whose work have inspired and enchanted me over the years. How many of them would be on your list?
