BRET BLEVINS COMES TO AIRSHIP 27
One of the
premier American illustrators is coming to Airship 27 Productions. Bret Blevins, known for his extensive comics
resume will be illustrating and painting the cover to the first ever
full-length Ravenwood – Stepson of Mystery novel, Return of the Dugpa, written by Micah Harris.
Blevins became a
professional comic book artist in the early 1980s. During that time, Blevins
drew adaptations of films such as The
Dark Crystal
and and The Last Starfighter, both
for Marvel Comics. Blevins was a guest
artist on a number of titles before becoming the regular artist of the highly
acclaimed The Bozz Chronicles which
was published under Marvel's creator-owned Epic Comics imprint.
Blevins first
regular job on a superhero comic was on the 1987 revival of Strange Tales, an anthology that
featured two ongoing features produced by two different creative teams; Cloak and Dagger by Blevins, and Doctor Srange. That same year, Blevins
became the regular penciler on New
Mutants. Blevins drew the majority of issues from #55 to #83. Blevins later
became the regular artist on Sleepwalker.
He then began to
work primarily on comic books produced by DC Comics, especially Batman comics.
In 1996, Blevins
moved into the field of television animation. He primarily drew storyboards for
Warner-Brothers produced cartoons such as Superman,
The New Batman/Superman Adventures, Batman Beyond, and the Justice League. Blevins won two Emmy
Awards for his storyboard contributions to some of those shows.
Blevins has
recently stopped regularly drawing storyboards will be returning to comics with
new projects in 2015.
“When this
opportunity arose to enlist such a super star artist, we fell over each other
to make it happen,” says Airship 27 Production’s Managing Editor. “Both Art Director Rob Davis and myself have
been huge fans of Bret’s work and are thrilled to be working with him on this
project.”
Blevins has done
nine black and white interior illustrations and is now in the process of
painting the cover. Airship 27 hopes to
have the book available shortly.
