BRIEF BIO
David Finch began his comic
book career at the age of 22 at Top Cow Productions under the supervision of
Marc Silvestri, part of Image Comics. There he created Ascension and Aphrodite
IX, both of which were top sellers in the business, with Aphrodite IX debuting
as the number one comic book in the industry. In 2001, he made the move to
Marvel comics where his catalog of work included Call of Duty, Ultimate X-Men,
Avengers Disassembled and The New Avengers. His run on Moon Knight skyrocketed
this title into the main Marvel universe and landed him a top-five book which
sold more than five times the title’s previous release.
David then turned his
attention to working with Lost, Heroes and Smallville’s executive producer,
Jeph Loeb, on Marvel’s smash hit “Ultimatum”. 2010 saw another major change in
David’s career as he made his transition from Marvel Comic to DC Comics and the
Warner Brothers banner. His artwork was featured on the covers for the follow
up to Darkest Night, entitled Brightest Day. In addition to his comic career,
David has also worked in video games, music and film. Jason Fabok learnt under
