Dale Eaglesham is a Canadian
comic book
illustrator who has been working in the American industry since 1986. He is best known for his work on titles like
Conan ,
Punisher ,
Green Lantern ,
Villains United ,
Justice Society of America and
Fantastic Four . In 2008, the
Shuster Awards selected him as Outstanding Canadian Comic Book Artist of the year.
Career
Eaglesham has worked with
DC Comics ,
Marvel ,
Dark Horse , and
CrossGen , among others. He worked exclusively for DC Comics
[1] for several years, before returning to Marvel in early 2009.
[2] There, his high-profile work includes pencilling
Fantastic Four
[3] and
Steve Rogers: Super-Soldier . He also worked on
Incredible Hulk for a three-issue arc with writer
Greg Pak .
[4]
On February 15, 2011,
Marvel announced that it was bringing back Canadian superhero team
Alpha Flight , with writers
Fred Van Lente and
Greg Pak as the writing team, and Eaglesham on pencils. Speaking about the project, the Canadian artist said "I'm pretty excited to build a Canadian superteam into a force in the mainstream...there's a lot of depth to these characters and a lot of potential. If there's anything different in my approach at all, it'll be an authenticity to the locales because this is where I live."
[5]
One feature of Eaglesham's work for the first two years of his return to Marvel was that his projects were uninked, in other words colored and shot directly from his finished pencils.
[6] His work on
Fantastic Four and
Steve Rogers: Super-Soldier also earned him the nickname "The Evolutionary Jack Kirby," referring to Eaglesham's ability to keep his art fresh and innovative while paying homage to classic comic book art.

Villains United series, which was written by

Batman: Gotham Knights , as well as his two-year run on
Green Lantern , which included the landmark issue #150 featuring
Jim Lee 's new
Kyle Rayner costume. He wrapped up his award-winning run on
Justice Society of America in December 2008, with his final issue released in April 2009.
