DOCTOR STRANGE BY DONNY CATES

Donny Cates gained industry attention with works including God Country, Buzzkill and Star Trek. Cates quickly established himself at Marvel with a short stint on Captain America and eye-catching runs on Doctor Strange and Thanos, following up the latter with a self-titled limited series for breakout character Cosmic Ghost Rider. Cates masterminded dramatic shake-ups for iconic Marvel characters in Death of the Inhumans and Venom, and returned to the cosmos with Guardians of the Galaxy. He then commenced his next legendary epic in the pages of Thor and offered a suitably incredible new take on Hulk.

Spanish artist Gabriel Hernandez Walta has made the most of his relatively short time in comics, drawing stories by legendary authors Clive Barker and R.L. Stine, as well as co-creating two hit series from IDW. He has now firmly established himself at Marvel on titles including X-Men and Astonishing X-Men, and his unique style proved a perfect fit both for Cullen Bunn’s dark exploration of the mutant Master of Magnetism in Magneto and Tom King’s acclaimed Vision. Walta joined writer Donny Cates to take Doctor Strange into the Marvel Legacy era.

Niko Henrichon has leant his unique artistic style to comics as varied as New X-Men, Superman and Star Wars Tales, as well as writer Brian K. Vaughan’s Pride of Baghdad. Henrichon lives in Quebec City with his wife and cat.

Artist Frazer Irving rose to prominence with the 2000 A.D. series “Necronauts.” In addition to work for RPG companies and advertising agencies, his comic-book credits include Klarion the Witch Boy for DC, and Iron Man: The Inevitable and Silent War for Marvel. The versatile artist has illustrated characters as diverse as Batman, Skeletor and Garfield.
