Author Bio

Artist Declan Shalvey cut his teeth in the U.K. small-press scene and soon gained mainstream attention for his work on 28 Days Later. Shortly afterward, he made his Marvel debut on Thunderbolts with writer Jeff Parker, followed by well-loved arcs on both Venom and Deadpool. He went on to illustrate the critically acclaimed Moon Knight relaunch with writer Warren Ellis; the pair again collaborated on the creator-owned Injection for Image Comics. Shalvey resides in his native Ireland. Known for his gritty style of pencils and inks - with textures reminiscent of greats Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli - Spanish artist Jefte Palo has illustrated the miniseries Doctor Voodoo- Avenger of the Supernatural and Taskmaster; the series Moon Knight, Black Panther- The Man Without Fear/The Most Dangerous Man Alive and Incredible Hulk; the one-shots X-Force- Ain't No Dog and Wolverine- The Anniversary; and more.
