Terrence "Terry" Dodson is an American comic book artist and penciller. He is best known for his work on titles such as Harley Quinn, Trouble and Marvel Knights Spider-Man.

Dodson is known for his clean, soft style and for his buxom depictions of female characters. His art is clearly inspired by the work of artists such as Adam Hughes and Stuart Immonen.

He usually works with his wife Rachel Dodson, who is a comic book inker and colorist.

[edit] Professional History

Dodson first came to prominence as the artist on Malibu Comics' Ultraverse title Mantra in 1993. He co-created the character with writer Mike W. Barr.

In early 1996, he drew a four issue Storm mini series (starring the X-Men character of the same name), which was written by Warren Ellis, inked by Karl Story and published by Marvel Comics.

Later that same year this creative team reunited for another X-Men related limited series - the 3 issue Pryde and Wisdom title, starring Kitty Pryde and Pete Wisdom.

In 1998, he became regular penciller of Marvel's Generation X, where he remained until 2000 (#38-60).

In 2000, Dodson left Marvel for DC Comics where he pencilled a Harley Quinn ongoing series written by Karl Kesel. He left the title a year later.

Back at Marvel in 2002, Dodson began drawing Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil that Men Do, a limited series which was not completed until 2006 due to problems with writer Kevin Smith.

In 2003. Dodson and writer Mark Millar produced a controversial limited series titled Trouble which was published through Marvel's Epic Comics imprint. The series which was supposedly aimed at a teenage girl audience, featured suggestive photo covers of underage girls in bikinis and seemed to reveal details about Peter Parker (Spider-Man)'s true parentage.

In 2004, Dodson and Millar reteamed to launch a new ongoing Spider-Man series, Marvel Knights Spider-Man. Dodson left the title with #12.

Dodson is providing covers and interior art for DC Comics' 2006 relaunch of Wonder Woman, but will move to cover only art beginning with issue #6, before returning to interiors with issue #8. He has also just completed Songes, a comic strip which is edited and published in France.
