IAN CHURCHILL has worked professionally in the comic book industry for the past twenty years. Debuting on Marvel‘s X-MEN titles, he went on to illustrate CABLE, DEADPOOL, THE AVENGERS, THE UNCANNY X-MEN, SUPERMAN, SUPERMAN/BATMAN, SUPERGIRL, TEEN TITANS, RED HULK, Richard Starkings’ ELEPHANTMEN and his own group of supernatural heroes THE COVEN.
His creator-owned character, MARINEMAN, published by Image Comics, launched in 2010 to immediate critical acclaim and received an EISNER AWARD nomination for ‘BEST NEW SERIES 2010’. The series – written, drawn and co-coloured by Churchill – was collected and published in trade paperback format in July 2011 and was shortlisted for the 2012 Stan Lee Excelsior Award. The MARINEMAN trade paperback has also been translated into a French hardback by Glénat Comics. Outside the comic book industry, MARINEMAN has featured in various diving magazines including DIVER magazine and SPORT DIVER – the official magazine of the PADI organisation.
Churchill’s recent output saw him as penciller for DC Comics‘ new 52 title – THE RAVAGERS. He also acted as editor and consultant on the Image Comics sell-out hit, NO PLACE LIKE HOME by Angelo Tirotto and Richard Jordan.
He is currently working on a collaboration with acclaimed broadcaster and comic-creator, JONATHAN ROSS called, THE REVENGER, due to be published by Image Comics later this year. He is also working hard on MARINEMAN volume two which is also due to be published by Image Comics.
