Lee Sullivan (comics)
Lee Sullivan is a comic book artist who lives and works in the UK.
Biography
Sullivan trained as a wildlife and technical illustrator at Barnfield College before working as a graphic illustrator for British Aerospace.[1] As a fan of Doctor Who he was inspired by the launch of Doctor Who Weekly to prepare sample art but as his output was slow at the time, he was put off when David Lloyd told him what the rates were.[1]
He then worked as a freelance illustrator for advertising from 1983 when he met John Higgins who was writing a music magazine comic story, The Bizniz. Sullivan ended up colouring Steve Yeowell's art on the story and later Higgins introduced to the editors at Marvel UK.[1] He began work there in 1987 providing covers for The Transformers[2] until he got his break in 1988 drawing a Doctor Who story written by John Freeman.[3] and has subsequently been published in a number of titles including: Transformers, ThunderCats, Death's Head, RoboCop, TekWorld, Thunderbirds (from 2000 to 2005) and 2000 AD.
He has worked on various Doctor Who strips, contributing semi regularly to Doctor Who Magazine since 1989, drawing the Eighth Doctor strips that appeared in the Radio Times in 1996 and drawing 64 strips for Doctor Who - Battles in Time from 2006 to 2009. He has also provided artwork for Doctor Who webcasts that appeared on BBCi including Death Comes to Time, Real Time and Shada along with artwork for the official Doctor Who website. He is currently producing line artwork for alternate issues of Doctor Who DVD Files and working as pencils/inks artist on The Amulet of Samarkand graphic novel for Hyperion Books which will be published in late 2010.
Sullivan plays the saxophone and regularly tours the UK as part of a Roxy Music tribute band called Roxy Magic.
