A note (and piece of art) from Jim Lee

Friday, February 19th, 2010

By admin

I wanted to follow yesterday’s Co-Publisher’s Blog with a more personal update of my own creative work.  For fans of my art–fear not, drawing comic books is actually a part of my new job description, and I actually plan on increasing the frequency of which you will be seeing my work.  It’s important to me not only on a personal level that I continue with a hand in the actual creation of new comics but also for a broader mission.

- Jim Lee

[Editor's Note: Fear not, WildStorm fans - Jim will continue to grace the WSU, both the characters he created and the rich universe that spun out of there, with his artistic skills for years to come. For those of you who need a fix right now, here are the pencils to his variant cover for DV8 #1 (written by Brian Wood and illustrated by Rebekah Isaacs) coming out this April. You should also check out DCU's The Source and Vertigo's Graphic Content early next week for two more exclusive pieces or art. A lot has been said here about Jim's many myriad talents, and I hate to pound in the obvious - but wow, can he draw. -Austin]
