John Cassaday began his professional career with Negative Burn. It wasn' t until he showed his portfolio to Mark Waid at San Diego Comic Con that he began receiving job offers from Dark Horse, DC, and Marvel. He eventually collaborated with Joss Whedon on Astonishing X-Men which led to more work and even directing an episode of Whedon' s television show, Dollhouse. Most recently he helped relaunch the successful Star Wars comic franchise alongside Jason Aaron for Marvel Comics. Enki Bilal is French-Yugoslavian comic book writer and artist, best known for The Carnival of Immortals, whose success would result in two sequels, The Woman Trap in 1986 and Equator Cold in 1993. He also wrote and drew The Monster' s Tetralogy in 1998. Working primarily as a graphic artist and illustrator, Bilal has also directed three movies, Bunker Palace Hotel in 1989, Tykho Moon in 1997, and Immortal in 2004, the latter based on his earlier NikopolTrilogy. Bilal was named Officier des Arts et des Lettres in 2003, and was invested with a knighthood in the Ordre National du Merite in 2010. An asteroid was named after him in 2006. Born in Ohio, Paul Pope became interested in European comics through Heavy Metal magazine. He is one of the few American cartoonists working for a major Japanese manga publisher since he created the series Supertrouble for Kodansha. Since 1997, he has also been working for DC Comics, where his titles include Hellblazer, the miniseries Batman Year 100, and Strange Adventures in the series Wednesday Comics. His science fiction series Heavy Liquid appeared in 1999 from DC/Vertigo. Katsuya Terada is a Japanese manga artist, illustrator and character designer of the anime Blood, the Last Vampire and the visual novel Jake Hunter, amongst others. He has also illustrated series like Iron Man and Hellboy. He is the author of the manga Saiyukiden and one of the few "cult artists" in Japan who occasionally produces a collection of pin-ups. Eddie Campbell was born in Glasgow, Scotland, but now lives in Australia. He began his career in the alternative comix scene of the 1970s and 1980s. He wrote Lucifer, illustrated by Phill Elliot and Paul Grist, as well as Hellblazer drawn by Sean Phillips at DC/Vertigo. He is most known for drawing From Hell, written by Alan Moore, which speculated about the identity of Jack the Ripper. It won the Ignatz Award for "Outstanding Graphic Novel Or Collection" at the Small Press Expo 2000 and the Eisner Award for Best Graphic Album (Reprint), and was adapted into a movie in 2001.
