He is the illustrator and co-creator behind The Silencers (with Fred Van Lente) and High Moon (with David Gallaher).

Steve Ellis’ work has featured CD covers, computer games, trading cards, books, RPGs, magazines, toys and of course, comics. Well versed in digital and traditional media, Steve's has enjoyed widespread success painting and illustrating in the publications of Marvel and DC Comics, for Wizards of the Coast and Upper Deck, and numerous other companies over the past 14 years.
