Jim Lee : Comic Book Artist
I wasn't into Comic Books as a little kid. It wasn't until I got a little older that I discovered them. And one of the reasons I did was Jim Lee. My friend introduced me to his amazing cover art and I had no choice but to buy his comics. He is an amazing artist and who left an indelible mark on the comic book industry.

X-Men and Jim Lee
My first real introduction to Comic Books came with this series. Way back in 1991 Jim and Chris Claremont both launched the second series of X-Men cleverly entitled "X-Men." The comic books were co-written by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee, with art by Jim himself. I was hooked. I was enthralled with both the writing and art work. I have followed Jim's career ever since.

WildC.A.T.S. and Jim Lee
One of my all-time favorite characters was created in the Image/Wildstorm Productions comic book. Grifter would be his name. I loved the character and the comic book series.In 1992 Jim Lee left Marvel to create Wildstorm Productions and have his comics published under Image Comic Books. WILDcats was born and so was Grifter. WILDcats has has many different incarnations. But all were worth reading and keeping.

Quote
"Sometimes I wonder if we ever really improve as artists or if the nirvana derived from completing a piece blinds us enough to love what we have created and move on to the next piece. If we could see the work as it is, with years of reflection in the here and now, how many images would end up in the trash rather than on the racks?"
