Mark Buckingham, who is best-known and most-celebrated for his work on the long-running Vertigo titleFables, began his career in 1990 working with Neil Gaiman on Miracleman from Eclipse Comics. Working on such titles as2000 AD, Hellblazer, and Shade, the Changing Man, he became a mainstay at DC Comics after taking over art duties on Fables with issue #6.

Canadian Ray Fawkes is an accomplished writer and illustrator, having garnered multiple Harvey and Eisner Award nominations, and receiving the YALSA award for his Oni Press title, Possessions Book One: Unclean Getaway.

Billy Martin, a native of Annapolis, MD, is probably best known as the lead guitarist of the band Good Charlotte. But, in addition to creating his music, he is artist and co-writer of IDW Publishing’s Vitriol, The Hunter. As his first foray into comics,Vitriol is a six issue series that brings together grisly, gothic horror with sci-fi adventure set in the year 2127 in the fictional city of Basilika. The series follows the journey of Basilika City’s last great hope, Vitriol, as he stands as the only force that can stop Lord Barthus and his heinous vampire regime from overtaking the city. You can also find Billy’s artwork on the variant cover this summer for IDW’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Animated Adventures.

Debuting professionally in the 1980s, artist and occasional writer Lee Weeks initially received publication in Eclipse Comics’ Tales of Terror horror anthology. He has contributed to much lauded work on titles such as Marvel’s Daredevil, Captain America,and Spider-Man’s Tangled Web, DC Comics’ bookshelf format Batman Chronicles: Gauntlet, and Dark Horse Comics’ Tarzan vs. Predator.
