Artists Information
Ethan Van Sciver is an American comic book artist who's worked in the industry for a little over two decades, with his earliest work being a comic called Cyberfrog published by Hall of heroes 1994. Ethan's most notable works now include, DC's Green Lantern, The Flash: Rebirth and Marvel's New X-Men. Van Sciver's first comics work was published in 1994, writing and drawing CYBERFROG, published by Hall of Heroes and later by Harris Comics. His first work for DC Comics was in 1998, which led to him being hired in 1999 as the artist on the series Impulse, with writer Todd Dezago. This was followed in 2001 by the first of what would become several collaborations with writer Geoff Johns, on the superhero-horror one-shot The Flash: Iron Heights. Van Sciver was hired by Marvel Comics in 2001 to work on New X-Men, a retitled and revamped series (beginning with #114) written by Grant Morrison. The series' primary artist Frank Quitely was not expected to illustrate the necessary twelve issues per year, so Van Sciver was scheduled to illustrate two issues per year, which expanded to more issues as Igor Kordey was also hired as a semi-regular artist. Van Sciver drew a total of four issues. In issue #133 of this series, Morrison and Van Sciver co-created the character Dust, a Sunni Muslim mutant who can transform into sand. Returning to work primarily for DC, Van Sciver worked with Johns on the six-issue miniseries Green Lantern: Rebirth (2004) which restored the Silver Age character Hal Jordan as the publisher's primary Green Lantern. They then worked together on an ongoing series featuring the character. During this time Van Sciver was one of the artists who contributed to a series of instructional books for amateur comics artists, published by Wizard magazine. Johns, Van Sciver, Dave Gibbons, Ivan Reis and others produced Sinestro Corps War, a high-profile 11-issue story appearing in DC's two Green Lantern monthly series in 2007. Van Sciver and Johns produced the six-issue mini-series The Flash: Rebirth (2009) which – like the earlier Green Lantern mini-series – reintroduced the Silver Age character Barry Allen as the Flash. The same year, he drew variant covers for DC's crossover storyline Blackest Night. In 2011, as part of DC's “New 52” initiative, he was the artist – and co-writer with Gail Simone of The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men. Starting in 2016, as part of the “DC Rebirth” relaunch of DC's titles, Van Sciver drew issues of the Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps series. Van Sciver received a “special thanks” credit in the films Justice League, Zack Snyder’s Justice League and The Suicide Squad. In 2018, Van Sciver announced that he would produce his own comics and in 2019 he published CYBERFROG: BLOODHONEY featuring his early character CYBERFROG, for which he had raised over $500,000 through crowdfunding. A campaign in 2020 raised over $1 million for a follow-up CYBERFROG: REKT PLANET.
Dave Gibbons is a self taught English Comic book artist, who began in the industry doing pencils for British underground comics. Gibbons later grew to fame illustrating pages for DC's Green Lantern and Doctor Who weekly published by Marvel. Dave Gibbons most notable projects was the highly admired Watchmen (1986) written by Alan Moore.
