## Bio

Born in Korea in 1964, Lee started at Marvel in 1987 drawing Alpha Flight and Punisher before landing The Uncanny X-Men, where he co-created Gambit with Chris Claremont and refined the clean-line dynamism that made X-Men #1 a record-breaker. In 1992 he co-founded Image Comics and launched WildStorm Productions, publishing WildC.A.T.s and Gen13 until he sold the imprint to DC in 1998 to focus on drawing again. He illustrated Batman: Hush, Superman: For Tomorrow, and the New 52 Justice League while steering WildStorm as a DC imprint through 2010. DC named him co-publisher in 2010, chief creative officer in 2018, and sole publisher in 2020 - a climb from penciler to the top of the industry he once broke open.
