Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted February 3, 2015 Showmasters Admin Share Posted February 3, 2015 Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Mike PerkinsArtist: Stephen King's The Stand, Captain America, Ruse, DeathlokAlthough he began his career in 1987, it was only in 2001 – after six years of working on such Caliber comics as Kilroy is Here, Negative Burn, Black Mist: Blood of Kali and Necroscope – that Mike Perkins was headhunted by CrossGen Comics.The British artist – who had also contributed to 2000 AD and Black Library's Warhammer Monthly – was initially hired as an inker on the strength of his finishes for two 2000 projects: DC's Green Lantern vs Aliens and Witchblade/Aliens/The Darkness/Predator : Mindhunter for Image's Top Cow imprint. His first output for CrossGen was on CrossGen Chronicles, Sigil, Ruse and Sojourn and Archard's Agents before he co-created and pencilled Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which was ended along with his exclusive contract by CrossGen's bankruptcy after five issues.Once more a free agent, Perkins was taken on by Marvel for which he has worked almost without a break ever since. His first project for the House of Ideas was 2004's Daredevil 2099, a one-shot that was followed in 2005 by another, Elektra: The Movie as well by a Spellbinders six-parter alongside which he continued to produce covers, draw the occasional fill-in and take on inking assignments. as a handful of fill-ins.With his star on the rise, a 2005 move to Captain America raised Perkins' profile even higher but he moved on after only 11 issues to illustrate Union Jack. A rash of fill-ins followed that 2006 six-parter until 2008 when he drew the five chapters of House of M: Avengers before taking on a title which would not only pretty much occupy all Perkins' time for the next three years but also introduce his art to a whole new audience.Between 2008 and 2012 he illustrated the various Marvel miniseries adapting Stephen King's The Stand before moving on to Astonishing X-Men. For almost two years after his nine-issue run on that title ended his primary output was covers but he took on a new regular title as 2014 drew to a close. He remains the current penciller of Deathlok.http://comicartcommunity.com/gallery/data/media/426/Miracleman_2_Perkins_Variant.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
