Michael Golden

Artist/writer/creator Michael Golden, co-creator of the X-men's Rogue character, Spartan X and Bucky O'Hare has a legion of devotees that number not only in aficionados of his work, but other artists as well. Known for his detailed pencil work on The 'Nam, Micronauts, G.I. Joe Yearbook, and Dr. Strange, among MUCH more, Golden, modestly never says which is his own personal favorite project. However, according to one art dealer, Everybody in the business has been influenced by Golden's Dr. Strange. Milestones in Golden's career include the co-creation of Bucky O'Hare, which led to an animated series and toy line designed by Michael, as well as Spartan X with editor/writer Renee Witterstaetter. Currently, Golden's work can be seen with recent covers on Nightwing, Iron Man, Heroes for Hire, Exiles, Demon's Regret, Spiderman, The Hulk, and more. Recent books on Golden include a Manga version of the Bucky series, as well as the top selling art retrospective Excess: The Art of Michael Golden, which sold out and has gone into a second printing, as well as his recent sketchbook Heroes and Villains, and his upcoming new sketchbook, MORE Heroes and Villains. In addition, Woodcrest Productions/Eva Ink has also just released a two part candid DVD on Michael and his career, entitled Creator Chronicles: Michael Golden. As a conceptual cover artist, Golden has penciled everything from Batman and Captain America to Vampirella-- and Virtually every character in the industry at some point or another. I'm the one they come to when they want one of those covers with a thousand characters on them, he laughs. Michael has served as an Editor at DC Comics as well as Senior Art Director at Marvel Comics, and has worked on scores of movie production projects, some currently in development. His art has been the focus of gallery shows in places as diverse as Gijon, Barcelona, New York, Antwerp and Brussels, while his class on storytelling has been conducted from Spain to Brussels to France to Canada to the United States... and most recently China. He has also served as an editor at DC Comics, Senior Art Director at Marvel Comics, designer of numerous toy lines, including Bucky O'Hare and Dr. Strange, as well various film production projects.
