Latest Guest Announcement - Steve Yeowell Attending: Saturday Artist: Zenith; 2000 AD; Skrull Kill Krew MUCH admired for his collaboration on Zenith, 2000 AD's mould-breaking superhero saga with Grant Morrison, artist Steve Yeowell first came in contact with the acclaimed Scots writer virtually at the start of his career. Mere months after making his debut at Harrier Comics in 1986 (on Swiftsure & Conqueror), Yeowell moved to Marvel UK where he teamed up with Morrison for a 10-issue run on Spider-Man and Zoids which the artist followed with a handful of issues of Thundercats and Action Force (the British version of G.I. Joe). Then Morrison handpicked him for Zenith, which he drew from 1987 to 1992. In parallel he illustrated other stories for 2000 AD, with which he has remained continuously associated ever since. Yeowell's first US work was a contribution to the 1989 first issue of Open Space, Marvel's SF anthology, with the 67 Seconds graphic novel for the House of Ideas' creator-owned imprint following in 1992. Sandwiched in between was the Morrison-written The New Adventures of Hitler. That ran in Crisis, 2000 AD's politically aware companion title, just months before Yeowell began his 14 years (and counting) association with Judge Dredd Megazine, the prime spin-off from 2000 AD. Two years later he reunited with Morrison for the three-issue Sebastian O for Vertigo's DC's embryonic mature readers imprint for which he also illustrated the first four issues of 1994's Morrison-scripted The Invisibles​. The following year came Skrull Kill Krew, a Marvel five-parter co-authored by Morrison and fellow Scot Mark Millar, with whom the artist had also worked at 2000 AD. Since then Yeowell has been a virtually permanent contributor to the weekly SF anthology and/or the Megazine although he has found time for sporadic returns to the US audience. Primarily his output has been fill-ins, annuals and the like but he did also draw a 2002 Foot Soldiers graphic novel for AiT/Planet Lar and couple more short runs on The Invisibles. http://www.bleedingcool.com/wp-content/uploads//2010/11/22.jpg
