Jim LeeLegend

Comic Artist, Penciller, Publisher

Few artists have shaped what a superhero looks like on the page as directly as Jim Lee. His early-nineties X-Men work, all dense crosshatching and coiled anatomy, became a house style that later artists still work against. He left to co-found Image Comics and WildStorm, then became one of DC's defining figures on Batman: Hush and Justice League.
