Kevin "Kev" Walker is a British comics artist and illustrator, based in Leeds, who worked mainly on ''2000 AD'' and ''Warhammer'' comics and the collectible card game ''Magic: The Gathering''. He is now working for Marvel Comics. ==Biography== Walker began his career in 1987 working on ''Future Shocks'' in ''2000 AD'', and followed this up with work on some of the anthology comic’s most popular long-running stories, including ''Judge Dredd'', ''Rogue Trooper'' (inking Steve Dillon’s pencils), the ''ABC Warriors'' and ''Judge Anderson''. During this period Walker also wrote a number of stories including ''Daemonifuge'' and ''The Inspectre'', often with co-author Jim Campbell. In reviewing ''Daemonifuge: The Screaming Cage'', critic Don D'Ammassa wrote, "The artwork is for the most part excellent."〔D'Ammassa, Don (November 2002). "Daemonifuge: Book I; The Screaming Cage", ''Science Fiction Chronicle'' 24 (11): 32.〕 Jeff Zaleski wrote, "Walker's grayscale, b&w CGI artwork is extremely effective in the oversized format, and Walker's people look more human than most Warhammer characters."〔Zaleski, Jeff (November 4, 2002). "Daemonifuge: The Screaming Cage", ''Publishers Weekly'' 249 (44): 65.〕 Originally known for his glossy, painted style and the fine detail of his inked work, Walker has since 1998 changed the way he works, using a high contrast black line style with heavy shadows coupled with flat computer colouring, reminiscent of the work of Mike Mignola. From 2002 onwards, despite a couple of ''Judge Dredd'' stories, he has largely worked on American comic books starting with ''The Legion'' at DC Comics, written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning (DnA), before moving over to Marvel Comics. In April 2006, he worked on Marvel's cosmic crossover event, "Annihilation" with DnA plotting Nova, one of its four lead-ins. In 2005, Walker was commissioned by design agency (ODD ) to draw the character of a 13-year-old James Bond for Charlie Higson's first Young Bond novel ''SilverFin''.〔Ezard, John (April 23, 2005). "(Young Bond proves a bestseller )", ''The Guardian'', p. 10. Retrieved September 2, 2010.〕〔Van Gelder, Lawrence (April 27, 2005). "Arts, Briefly: 007 at 13", ''The New York Times'', p. E2.〕 He also illustrated a graphic novel adaptation of ''SilverFin'' in 2008,〔Craig, Amanda (September 13, 2008). "Heroes not yet hardened", ''The Times'', p. 15.〕 and provided cover art for the Young Bond novels released in the U.S. by Hyperion Books. Walker then provided the third instalment of the Marvel Zombies series, with writer Fred Van Lente〔(WW Philly: Fred Van Lente Writes "Marvel Zombies 3" ), Comic Book Resources, June 1, 2008〕 and the creative team stayed together for ''Marvel Zombies 4''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fred Van Lente Talks Marvel Zombies 4 )〕 He then teamed up with DnA again to draw the ''Realm of Kings: Imperial Guard'' limited series, before becoming the main artist on ''Thunderbolts'' following the Heroic Age reboot of the team. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kev Walker」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
