Lee Weeks attendedThe Kubert School[1] and made his professional comics debut penciling, inking, and lettering a short story ("Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk") inTales of Terror #5 (March 1986), a horror anthology published byEclipse Comics.[2] He is best known for his work forMarvel Comics on theDaredevil series (1990–1992), where he pencilled theLast Rites storyline.[3] It featured the fall of theKingpin and is a sequel of sorts toFrank Miller andDavid Mazzucchelli'sBorn Again.[4]
He collaborated with writerHoward Mackie on theGambit limited series in 1993–1994.[5] AtDark Horse Comics, Weeks drew thePredator vs.Magnus, Robot Fighter andTarzan vs. Predator: At the Earth's Core crossovers.[6] Back at Marvel, he wrote and drew theSpider-Man: Death and Destiny limited series in 2000[7] and worked withTom DeFalco onSpider-Man: The Mysterio Manifesto the following year.[8]
Other Marvel Comics titles he has contributed to includeJustice (1988–1989),The Destroyer (1989–1990),Spider-Man's Tangled Web (2002),Captain America vol. 4 #17-20 (with writerDave Gibbons) (2003),The Incredible Hulk vol. 3 (2002, 2005) and the five-partCaptain Marvel (2008) mini-series.[2]
In a brief period with DC Comics, Weeks penciled the 1997 48-page bookshelf format book,The Batman Chronicles: Gauntlet, which was written by Bruce Canwell.[9] He also worked as a storyboard artist forSuperman: The Animated Series.[10]
Weeks is the subject of the seventeenth volume of theModern Masters series published byTwoMorrows Publishing in 2008.[11]
Weeks is the writer and artist of "Angels Unaware", the opening three issue storyline of the eight-issue, Marvel anthology miniseriesDaredevil: Dark Nights.[12] James Hunt ofComic Book Resources gave the first issue four and a half out of five stars. While Hunt praised Weeks' writing, he stated, "It's Weeks' art which really sells the story. Weeks is a very visual storyteller whose ideas translate fantastically onto the page, whether it's the ambiance of snow-covered streets or the fluid, weighty action scenes. The world looks grimy, yet ethereal. It's clear that the artists have a rock-solid grip on the character."[13] The second issue was also given four and a half out of five stars by CBR'sKelly Thompson, who called it "hauntingly beautiful and surprisingly complex in the way it addresses the ideas of being a superhero", and that the storyline is a "fantastic" look at the character.[14] He worked onSuperman: Lois and Clark in 2015 with writerDan Jurgens.[15] In 2017, Weeks drew aBatman/Elmer Fudd one-shot.[16]
In 2003, Lee Weeks shared theHaxtur Award for "Best Short Story" withBruce Jones andJosef Rubinstein.[17]
In 2019, Weeks was awarded theInkwell Awards All-in-One Award, having received 31% of the votes for that category.[18]
