Jim Lee

Although Jim Lee graduated from Princeton University with a degree in medicine, he decided to try his hand at comic book art. He began his career at Marvel, where his first work was 'Alpha Flight', starting in 1986. He has also drawn titles like 'Punisher: War Journal', but his best known Marvel work is his run on 'X-Men' and 'Uncanny X-Men'. Lee left Marvel in 1992 to found the independent Image Comics together with Todd McFarlane and Rob Liefeld.

Lee's imprint under Image, Wildstorm Productions, has also launched a number of successful titles, such as 'Wild C.A.T.S.', 'Stormwatch', 'Deathblow', 'Union', 'Backlash', 'Team 7' and 'GEN13'. Lee also continued to work for Marvel. He did reworkings of the Marvel classics 'Fantastic Four', 'Iron Man', 'Avengers' and 'Captain America' in Marvel's Heroes Reborn series. In 1997, he launched 'Divine Right: The Adventures of Max Faraday', a comic for which he does both artwork and script.
