Jim Lee




Here is Jim Lee, who baffled me a lot by appearing behind all major American comic heroes: Superman, Batman, X-man.  After a little research, I am learning that over 20 regular writers and 40 regular pencillers have been involving in creating the Uncanny X-man comic series, alone.

Mr. Lee was born in Seoul, Korea but grew up in Missouri to be one of the most popular American comic writers.  As his high school classmates predicted him would be a commic writer, even after he went to Princeton Univ. following tracks to be a medical doctor, he started his career by  penciling Uncanny X-man #248.


He started gaining reputations after his involvement in critically acclaimed series The Authority and Planetary for "breaking out stereotype of comics" with "substance."



Wiki credits the following works to him.
  • Alpha Flight #51,53,55–64 (Marvel, 1987–88)
  • War Journal #1–13, 17-19 (Marvel, 1988–89)
  • Uncanny X-Men #248, 256–258, 267–277 (Marvel, 1990–91)
  • X-Men (vol. 2) #1–11 (Marvel, 1991–92)
  • WildC.A.T.s #1–13 (Image/Wildstorm, 1992–94)
  • Fantastic Four (Heroes Reborn) #1–6 (pencils) #7–12 (co-plotter) (Marvel, 1996–97)
  • Divine Right #1–12 (Image/Wildstorm, 1997-99)
  • Batman #608–619 (DC Comics, 2002–03)
  • Superman (vol. 2) #204–215 (DC Comics, 2004–05)
  • All-Star Batman and Robin #1—9 (DC Comics, 2005— )

It is disappointing to see that he does not elaborate his life or works in any of his MyfaceTwitter nor author's page at ComicBookDB.com.
