The Artists

Born June 1956 in Corby, Northants, England. No formal art education — unpleasant experiences with the “art establishment” reinforced the primary ambition to be a carpenter. Began contributing to comics as a part-time hobby that quickly became a full-time job. First professional comic work on Captain Britain in 1981 for Marvel UK. Marvelman for Warrior followed less than a year later. Harry Twenty on the High Rock for 2000AD allowed the hobby to become a full-time job. D.R. and Quinch followed. First U.S. work came in 1985 for DC, on Batman and the Outsiders, followed by Detective Comics. A few X-Annuals led on to Excalibur, then Wolverine: Bloodlust. A return to Excalibur as writer/artist, then The ClanDestine, JLA: The Nail, Fantastic Four, various X-books, Superboy’s Legion, Avengers, Killraven, JLA: Another Nail, Fantastic Four: The End... plus lots of covers, short runs, and more ClanDestine. Additional runs include Thor, Captain America, Wolverine, Savage Hulk, Guardians of the Galaxy, and, most recently, three 100-page THANOS OGNs and the written Avengers/Defenders mini-series, TAROT. Married to Heather since 1977 with two children and four grandchildren.
