Artist

The Resume

    (July 12, 1970- )
    Born in California
    Birth name is Philip Jimenez
    Comic book artist and writer
    Drew for the 'Wonder Woman' comic series (2000-03) and the 'Infinite Crisis' miniseries (2005-06)
    Worked on 'The Amazing Spider-Man' and 'Teen Titans'
    Collaborated with Grant Morrison

Why he might be annoying:

    He majored in cartooning at the School of Visual Arts.
    He was dating the (much older) DC Comics Creative Director Neal Pozner around the time that he started getting major assignments.
    He drew Barack Obama on the cover of Amazing Spider Man for its Inauguration Day issue and did a Project Runway Marvel comic cover with Tim Gunn in an Iron Man suit.
    He draws well-known superheroes amazingly, but he hasn't created many memorable characters on his own (The Freak? Mister Negative?).
    When he created Lena Luthor, he told Freak Sugar: 'I think we’ve come up with one of the first female villains in a very long time who isn’t motivated by wanting to have sex with the lead or have their baby.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He's a huge Wonder Woman fan.
    He dated Neal Pozner when Pozner was HIV-positive and was his caretaker until his death in 1994.
    He was named one of Instinct Magazine's 2006 Men of the Year.
    He was listed as one of Entertainment Weekly's 101 Gay Movers and Shakers.
    His hands were used for the shots of Tobey Maguire sketching costume ideas in the first 'Spider Man' film in 2002.
    He created art for the first permanent AIDS awareness exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.
    He's a protege of George Perez (they worked together on the Wonder Woman revival series) and his style comes the closest to matching the grand scale of Perez's work.
    Like Perez, he's best at widespread and detailed action scenes - like the 'JLA/Titans: The Technis Imperative' fight panel or the 'DC Villains vs. Marvel Villains' spread for Wizard Magazine.
    He said on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore: 'Everybody's got some nerd in them. But the idea that, somehow, being a nerd is separate from one’s religious or moral or political beliefs is strange to me. We all bring everything to our decision-making on a daily basis.'
