From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mark Chiarello is a painter, art director and editor in the comics business. As a painter, he has worked on such projects as the Batman story Batman/Houdini: The Devil's Workshop (which earned him the 1993 National Cartoonists Society Award for Best Comic Book.[1]) and Clive Barker's Hellraiser. He was also the first colorist on Mike Mignola's creator owned comic book, Hellboy (on Seed of Destruction).

As an editor for DC Comics, he created the critically acclaimed Batman: Black & White mini-series (for which he received an Eisner Award in 1997 and again in 2003) and the series Solo.[2] Chiarello was responsible for teaming up comics superstars Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb for their extremely successful run on the Batman series "Hush". Previously, Chiarello worked at Marvel Comics where he was assistant to Archie Goodwin.

Recently, Chiarello's work was seen in Star Wars: The New Essential Chronology alongside artists Tommy Lee Edwards and John Van Fleet. He also co-authored the book The DC Comics Guide to Coloring and Lettering Comics with Eisner Award winning letterer, Todd Klein. He also drew a Samurai Jack story for DC's Cartoon Network Action Pack #1.

He is an Advisory Board Member of SPECTRUM, the Fantastic Art Annual.

In 2007 Chiarello and Jack Morelli authored "Heroes of the Negro Leagues," from Abrams Publishing, a book on the history of the Negro Leagues. An article and interview featuring Chiarello's Negro League paintings appeared in the March 08' issue of Juxtapoz magazine.
