Comic book writers and artists: Jim Lee



Alright, today's post is going to be on the fantastic artist Jim Lee! Jim's done a lot of amazing work over the years, starting out at Marvel in 1986 doing pencil work for Alpha Flight and then Punisher: War Journal in 1989. After filling in for Uncanny X-Men artist Marc Silvestri, where he co-created the character Gambit, Lee helped launch the new X-Men book in 1991, in which he became the regular artist and did co-writing as well. After that he moved on to create the company WildStorm, doing artwork for WildC.A.T.S., Savage Dragon and Deathblow among others. In 2003, Lee collaborated on the 12 issues in the Batman pages that would become the story arc "Hush". This was followed by a year long stint with Superman, then doing the artwork for Frank Miller's series All Star Batman and Robin. In February of 2006, Lee was announced as being a concept artist for the upcoming DC MMORPG game DC Universe Online. In February 2010, Lee was named alongside Dan DiDio as Co-Publisher of DC Comics. To Mr. Lee I say, keep on creating fantastic artwork, and keep on bringing more awesome comics to the world.
