Artists Information

After leaving the Navy as a photographer Jim Starlin began his career in comic books where he enjoyed success as both a writer and artist. Starlin credits legendary artists Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko as major influences to his illustration style which is apparent in his early works. For over 40 years he's been known for his space opera-esque stories where he created popular characters such as Thanos, Drax, and Gamora. His most notable works include Iron Man, Adam Warlock, and the Infinity Gauntlet.

Josef "Joe" Rubinstein is a comic book artist and inker, most associated with inking Marvel Comics' The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe and the 1982 four-issue Wolverine miniseries by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller. He is also known to be the one to have given artist Art Adams his first professional work.

Ron Lim is an American comic book artist, best known for his work for Marvel Comics on their various “cosmic” titles, most particularly the Silver Surfer (Vol 3) series. He was discovered by Marvel at a 1987 comic convention and was hired on the spot. Lim penciled the Silver Surfer series for almost six years (1988-94). He also penciled most of the “Infinity” trilogy of large-scale crossover limited series which Marvel published in the early 1990s – Infinity Gauntlet (1991), Infinity War (1992) and Infinity Crusade (1993). He returned to these characters to pencil the Thanos series in 2004.
