American comic book writer and artist
Jeff Parker (born October 25, 1966) is an Americancomic book writer andartist . He is a member ofHelioscope Studio (formerly Periscope Studio, also known as Mercury Studio).
Parker, a son of a grocery store owner, grew up inBurlington, North Carolina .[ 1] His first exposure to comics came from reading the titles sold on the store'sspinner racks , which includedDennis the Menace as well as variousArchie andHarvey publications.[ 2] After graduating fromEast Carolina University ,[ 3] where he majored in English Literature and Communications, Parker joined theHillsbourough -based illustration studio Artamus Studios, whose other members over the years includedMike Wieringo ,Richard Case ,Scott Hampton ,Dave Johnson , Craig Gilmore and Casey Jones.[ 4]
Parker began his career in comics as an artist, inking various projects pencilled by his Artamus Studios colleagues and illustratingSolitaire forMalibu andWonder Woman forDC Comics . In 1999, Parker moved toLos Angeles , where he worked as a storyboard artist on theBig Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot animated series while contributing art to a number of short stories featuring theEscapist andBuffy the Vampire Slayer forDark Horse and variousancillary Batman characters for DC.[ 4] Parker's first major work as a writer was the 2003graphic novel The Interman , which he also pencilled, inked, lettered, colored and self-published under the Octopus Press name.[ 5] [ 6] In 2006, Parker announced a continuation of the story in the form of a 32-page release titledThe Interman #0, to be illustrated by artistTomm Coker ,[ 7] but the issue never came out.
In 2005, Parker began working as a writer forMarvel , penning short stories for various anthology titles as well as theFantastic Four ongoing series for the all-ages imprintMarvel Adventures ,[ 8] followed byMarvel Adventures: The Avengers .[ 9] In 2006, Parker and artistLeonard Kirk launchedAgents of Atlas ,[ 10] [ 11] a six-issue mini-series featuring the adventures of the eponymous superhero team composed of seldom-usedGolden Age characters,[ 12] [ 13] [ 14] such asMarvel Boy ,[ 15] Jimmy Woo [ 16] andNamora .[ 17] The mini-series was followed by several short stories and eventually the second volume ofAgents of Atlas , launched in 2009.[ 18] This iteration lasted for 11 issues,[ 19] and was followed by two mini-series that saw Agents of Atlas crossover withAvengers andX-Men .[ 20] In 2010, Parker and artist Gabriel Hardman launched another attempt at an ongoing series, titled simplyAtlas ,[ 21] which ended after five issues.[ 22] Between 2006 and 2009, Parker also wroteX-Men: First Class , another series aimed at younger audiences which retold the earliest adventures of X-Men.[ 23] [ 24]
Parker's other work of the period includesWalk-In [ 25] and the second volume ofGamekeeper forVirgin Comics .[ 26] In 2006, he revived the Octopus Press branding to publishDear John , a book collecting 25 years of correspondence between comic book retailer John Hitchcock and the legendary artistAlex Toth .[ 27] [ 11] In 2009, Parker launched two creator-owned series:Mysterius the Unfathomable with artistTom Fowler , published by DC Comics'Wildstorm imprint,[ 28] andUnderground with artistSteve Lieber , published byImage .[ 29] Upon its completion,Underground was posted in its entirety on the "Comics and Cartoons" subsection of the imageboard website4chan , which attracted the attention of Lieber, who joined thethread discussing the series and held an impromptu Q&A session with the anonymous users of the website.[ 30] According to Parker and Lieber, this particular instance ofcomic book piracy led to a noticeable rise in sales of the series' collected edition.[ 31] In 2021, Parker launched aKickstarter campaign to fund his next creator-owned project, the graphic novelBlighter: Tracker of the Realm with art by Drew Moss.[ 32]
In 2010, Parker took over the writing duties of the ongoing seriesHulk , launched two years prior byJeph Loeb .[ 33] That same year, Parker became the writer of the long-running seriesThunderbolts .[ 34] After seeing the titular team through the company-wide crossover storyline "Siege ",[ 35] Parker revamped the title as part of the "Heroic Age " initiative which promised lighter tone for Marvel's superhero offerings.[ 36] In 2013, Parker helmed the launch of the comic book continuation of the1960sBatman television series for DC Comics in the form of thedigital-first seriesBatman '66 . The following year, he began writing theAquaman ongoing series.[ 37] 2016 saw the release ofFuture Quest , written by Parker and drawn by Evan Shaner, the flagship series of DC Comics' short-lived attempt at reimagining variousHanna-Barbera characters for the modern audiences.[ 38] In 2021, Parker and artistJavier Pulido launched a new volume of theNinjak series forValiant ,[ 39] although Pulido was taken off the title after three issues for undisclosed reasons.[ 40]
Parker citesAlex Toth ,Milton Caniff ,Harvey Kurtzman ,Carl Barks andAlan Moore among his influences.[ 2] [ 6] [ 11]
