You obviously don't read a lot of manga or are just getting into it. How anyone could talk about top tier manga artists and not know Shirow's works is a mystery to me. That's like telling me you don't know who Rumiko Takahasi or Jojhi Manabe is.
I doubt you'll ever find it since it's been out of print for awhile, but Appleseed is the manga that put Shirow on American anime fan radar back in the 90's. Ghost in the Shell just expounded on that.
SHIROW GET!! NOW!!
EDIT: Incidentally, Shirow doesn't do hentai (not often anyway) he just likes to draw 'em naked.
