The rules to get on the list are:
- The number of hits you get when searching for the name with Google must be higher than the
currently lowest placed name. The name should be surrounded in double
quotes when searching, followed by the main title or character
associated with the artist.
- The hits should be dominated by a single person.
- A significant amount of the fame must be because of the artists
work on sequential arts.
- Name variations and pseudonymes are treated as separate entries.
- Any questionable cases are decided by the list maintainer.
