Hello Michael, and all;

In the comics field I'm primarily a penciler (have also inked and colored) but I call myself a freelance illustrator. I work for myself as president of Giant Squid Studio Inc., and my work has been published by Marvel, Malibu, Brainstorm, Heroic Publishing and Heavy Metal Magazine.

Hello!

I'm currently working for ComicSpace as their lead designer, but I also create/draw/write Spades at spadescomic.com.

Owner of London's They Walk Among Us - established 22 years.

You draw it, I'll sell it.

Or sit in my office tooling around on FB while the guys sell it. It's all good.

I'm the writer/creator of DARK 48 published by Digital Webbing. I'm also the writer/creator of TIGER WRAITH which was published back in 1998 by Mammoth Press. The newest incarnation of the character appeared in the comic book BloodRayne: Dark Soul. I was also the writer of BloodRayne for several issues - published via the Digital Webbing imprint line.

Not currently doing work. Worked in comics for 10 years, about 8 of that for Wildstorm, doing mostly inks. I joined the studio as they were finishing up their run on the X-Men titles.

I am the writer of two webcomics. The first is planetserusis.com and the second is Penny For Your Soul which will launch in february. I am also almost ready to pitch my first comic, Critter, which can be seen at justalittlecritter.com, to publishing companies.

I am a graphic novelist (usually for Archaia Studios Press, though not exclusively) as well as a comic book scholar & educator here at Boston University.

My titles have included MORTAL COILS, EMPTY CHAMBER, THE LONE AND LEVEL SANDS, and the current SOME NEW KIND OF SLAUGHTER. I was also part of the 9-11: EMERGENCY RELIEF project and Random House's POSTCARDS: TRUE STORIES THAT NEVER HAPPENED collection.

I am an Editorial Board member for the INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMIC ART and a contributor to both Beliefnet.com and PW Comics Week. I am co-editing the essay collection GRAVEN IMAGES for 2010 release through Continuum Publishing.

Thanks!

I am a colorist and work freelance for anyone that pays me! At the moment, that is DC Comics.

But I have done work for Marvel, Image and many others!

Thanks Michael!

I'm an emergent writer. I recently wrote a comic - on sale coming soon - called "Dirty Streets" and it's an hard boiled comic.

Thanks!

Hello Michael,

I'm a writer, and my work has been in or is forthcoming coming in FutureQuake, Something Wicked, and Accent UK.

Here is the standard bio -

Mark Wheatley is an award winning creator of radical comic books. Preferring the title, "Graphic Novelist," he is respected internationally as an artist, writer, editor, publisher and inventor. Noted for comics with heart and integrity, he holds the Inkpot, Mucker, Gem, Speakeasy and Eisner awards and his projects have been nominated for the Harvey award, and the Ignatz award. His work has been repeatedly included in the annual Spectrum selection of fantastic art and has appeared in private gallery shows as well as the Library of Congress where several of his originals are in the LoC permanent collection. His comic book creations include Mars, Breathtaker, Black Hood, Prince Nightmare, Hammer of the Gods, Blood of the Innocent, Radical Dreamer, Frankenstein Mobster, Miles the Monster, The Mighty Motor-Sapiens, EZ Street, Lone Justice and Titanic Tales. His interpretations of established characters such as Tarzan the Warrior, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Jonny Quest, Dr. Strange, The Flash, Argus and seminal pulp hero The Spider have brought them to life for a new generation of readers. Not content to simply create the contents of comics, Mark has worked as an editor and art director for a number of publishers and is the inventor of color production technology for comics. He established the highly respected Insight Studios in 1978 as a home base for a team of talented comic creators. Insight Studios is the subject of an "insightful" coffee table style art book; IS ART: the Art of Insight Studios. In other fields he has written for TV, illustrated elaborate hardback novels, designed cutting-edge role-playing games and was an early innovator of the on-line daily comic strip form. Several of his projects have been optioned for motion pictures. In 2006 Mark was a guest lecturer on Storytelling in the Arts at the Library of Congress. In 2007 through May 2008 some of Mark's art and script for the ground breaking Breathtaker graphic novel was on view at the Norman Rockwell Museum. Mark lectured at the NORMAN ROCKWELL MUSEUM in May of 2008.

I've also done work in film and do a lot of CD covers

I'm co-host of the Comic Book Page family of Podcasts. My co-host & I have each been reading comics for over 30 years and read in excess of 100 titles a month, mixed between Marvel, DC, and many many Indie publishers.

Each week, on Weekly Comics Spotlight, we review 3 recent comics: 1 DC, 1 Marvel, 1 Indie.

Every month we cover what we (and several other Podcasters and fans) are excited about from the current Previews catalog on our Previews Spotlight episode (as well as spotlighting interviews with creators about upcoming projects in the current previews). Our goal here is to raise awareness about comics when they are available for order so fans will ask their LCS to order them and make sure they are on the shelf when they come out.

We discuss the top 300 comics & trades sales numbers from Diamond once a month on the Mayo Report episodes (co-host John Mayo also does a column on this topic a tthe Comic Book Resources web-site).

We also occasionally delve into classic storylines on our Back Issue Spotlight episodes.
