Join Chris Weston as he creates artwork and signs his fab comics at the Orbital Comic store
Chris Weston comic book artist extraordinaire will be creating an amazing piece of art before partaking in a signing session at the Orbital Comics store this March.
Chris Weston is a British comic artist who has worked both in the US and UK comics industries.
He was born in Germany and lived in various countries as a child. Growing up without television, the artist says, affected his future career. "My primary source of entertainment? You guessed it: comics! British comics, at that! Lion, Valiant, Bullet, Victor, Hotspur, Buster, War Picture Library, Action.... us "army brats" read them all! And what's more we'd discuss them for hours; the characters, the stories and the art in particular", he says on his official website.
Weston's work in America began with on Swamp Thing during Mark Millar's time as scriptwriter. He has since gone on to be published in The Invisibles, Starman, JSA, Lucifer, and The Authority.
He has also worked on The Filth and Ministry of Space. The former a creator-owned written by Grant Morrison, the latter a "what if?" limited series written by Warren Ellis which saw Britain winning the Space Race.
Most recently he has provided the art for Fantastic Four: First Family. Weston is currently illustrating The Twelve a 12-issue limited series written J. Michael Straczynski. The series will involve a team formed from Timely Comics characters including The Witness, The Black Widow and Elektro.
The event is taking place on Saturday March 29th from 12pm to 2pm at the Charing Cross store.
