Jeff Lemire is one of the most successful contemporary North-American comic artists. And one of the most versatile. His work includes realistic, autobiographical stories like "Essex County" as well as fantastic super hero series, science fiction and horror comics like "Black Hammer" and "Descender". Lemire has made a name for himself both as an illustrator and scenarist who never fails to give all of his collaborations with changing artistic partners his very own personal hallmark.
