Who are some people who would have been great comic artists, but they had far more lucrative careers elsewhere?

Chris Cunningham could've had a solid career as a Simon Bisley imitator (he contributed covers and some strip art to Judge Dredd Megazine in the early nineties under his real name of Chris Halls), but evidently found his creative muse elsewhere.
