Artists

He then worked for DC at Detective Comics for five years, completing storylines as Knightfall; Contagion; Legacy and Cataclysm.

Brian Middleton
Brian Middleton has been telling stories in one form or another for his whole life. His first comic book (published by his brother's 4th grade teacher and the school's copy machine) sold out at the distributor level. After that there was no looking back! He continued drawing as the years went on and wrote several short stories. Eventually he married the woman of his dreams and together they started a family. At this point his mind began to drift back to his first creative passion: comic books! After dipping his toe in the water with a handful of self-published and work-for-hire comics he decided to take the deep dive and create his first series, Wulfborne. The three-issue mini-series, published by Scout Comics, released in February 2019 to rave reviews. Reading With A Flight Ring called the book "an understated masterpiece of fiction" and called Brian "a madman, a fool and a genius", which, as far as anyone knows, is all true. With the creation of Wulfborne complete Brian has turned his creative attention toward his next project, Poiko's Quests and Stuff. The rest of his attention is focused squarely on his one wonderful wife, two beautiful daughters and six (feel free, dear reader, to fill in here the adjective of your choice) cats.
Kevin Conrad
Conrad’s lifelong dream was to illustrate for comics, and he grew tired of the lack of creativity in the commercial work that would come his way. His friend, Greg Capullo, included some sample X-Force pages that Conrad inked over him to his editor, Bob Harras, at Marvel. The result was immediate work as a contributing inker on X-Force, working over Greg’s pencils as well as nearly all of Marvel’s ‘X’ titles and their spin-offs. He was promoted to regular inker of X-Force starting with issue # 38, teaming up with then up-and-coming penciller Tony Daniel, and, over the course of many years, continued to accent each other’s work. After their collaboration on X-Force, they were both hired by Todd McFarlane to be the creative talent behind the Spawn mini-series; Spawn: Bloodfeud.
Assisting with the inking chores on the regular series, Spawn from issue 22 to 39, he then joined Tony again to illustrate the even numbered Spawn issues from # 40 through # 50. Following his run on Spawn, he contributed to many projects from the ‘big three’, finally landing his dream job and what he considers the pinnacle of his career — the inker for KISS: Psycho Circus. After 31 issues and two pencillers, the KISS series finally came to an end, but not before he had the chance to pencil the final cover, with KPC penciller Clayton Crain inking it.
Following the end of KPC, he headed over to Spawn: The Dark Ages with Nat Jones as penciler, inking issues 15 to it’s last issue, 28.
