Latest Comic Guest Announcement - Jesus Merino

 

Attending: Saturday & Sunday

 

Artist: Justice Society of America; Superman;

BETWEEN 1996 and 1998, Jesus Merino illustrated three miniseries for Spain's Planeta-DeAgostini before getting work in the US market, where he primarily inked stories by Carlos Pacheco.

He collaborated with his fellow Spaniard on numerous covers as well as on lengthy runs on such Marvel comics as Avengers Forever and Fantastic Four and on DC's 2002 original graphic novel JLA/JLA: Virtue and Vice. Following their partnership on 2003's Arrowsmith for DC, the pair teamed up on the 2005 relaunch of Green Lantern and then for a run on Superman at which point Merino began attracting his own pencilling assignments.

In due course the occasional fill-in led to a 2009-2010 run on Justice Society of America and then to a short 2011 stay on Action Comics after which he and fellow penciller George Pérez tag-teamed on the relaunch of Superman, which Merino worked on sporadically into 2012 before moving on to DC's Team 7 eight-parter.

The Spanish artist, who maintains his presence as in-demand inker while also pencilling the occasional fill-in, has most recently illustrated a short run on Aquaman. He followed that with 2016's Justice League: Darkseid War – Flash one-shot.
