Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Gary Erskine Attending: Saturday and Sunday Artist: Dan Dare; Thunderbolts; Knights of Pendragon LIKE so many others looking to establish themselves professionally in comics, Gary Erskine practiced his craft in fanzines before being hired by Marvel UK. His career began quietly (with a cover for Marvel UK's Transformers #251) but within months of that 1990 debut, the young Scots artist was hired by the House of Ideas' British arm to be the regular artist on Knights of Pendragon. He pencilled all but one of the title's first 18 issues before moving on to the first two issues of 1992's Warheads via contributions to Crisis, the politically aware sister title of 2000 AD for which he had also taken to working. America came calling in 1993 when Erskine was offered the Wolverine and the Punisher: Damaging Evidence three-parter by Marvel. This he followed by illustrating issues of Firearm later Code Name: Firearm for Malibu's Ultraverse imprint and Blaze for Marvel and then two four-parters – Malibu's Terminator movie tie-in T2: Nuclear Twilight and The Mask: World Tour for Dark Horse – with a 1996 return to 2000 AD sandwiched in between. From 1997 to 2000 Erskine drew issues of Dark Horse's Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron and Vermillion for Helix (DC's short-lived SF imprint) as well as two Dark Horse four-parters – Hypersonic and Out for Blood – and the three-issue City of Silence for Image. After that he elected to pretty much drop his pencilling work in favour of inking Chris Weston's pencils on a couple of DC/Vertigo projects. War Stories: Johann's Tiger (a 2001 one-shot) was followed by the 13 issues of 2002's The Filth​ although Erskine did fully illustrate Archangel – a 2003 War Stories one-off – during that run. Over the next four years he inked two 2004 six-parters (Avengers/Thunderbolts for Marvel and DC's JSA: Strange Adventures) as well as such other projects as 26 issues of New Thunderbolts (retitled Thunderbolts in 2006) and the four issues of 2007's Thunderbolts Presents: Zemo – Born Better. During that same period he also pencilled and inked 2005's Jack Cross four-parter for DC and reunited with Weston to ink Marvel's 2006 six-parter, Fantastic Four: First Family after which he returned to Vertigo to ink all 18 issues of 2007's Army @ Love alongside Virgin Comics' seven-issue Dan Dare, a 2007 resurrection of Britain's quintessential 1950s SF icon that he fully illustrated. Between 2010 and 2013 he spent much time at IDW, primarily inking G.I. Joe and G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero although he also illustrated the two issues of 2011's Star Trek: Infestation. On top of that he inked the 28 issues of 2012's Crossed: Wish You were Here for Avatar before moving back to Marvel in 2013 to provide finishes on the Ultimate Comics Wolverine four-parter. Since parting company with IDW, Erskine's inks have turned up on a variety of titles, chief among them the first four issues of 2014's Dead Boy Detectives for Vertigo. His most recent major project is Revolutionary War: Warheads​, a 2014 one-shot that he pencilled and inked for Marvel.
