Lee Weeks (born October 21 1962) is an American comics artist known for his work on such titles as Daredevil.

Career

Lee Weeks attended The Kubert School[1] and made his professional comics debut penciling, inking, and lettering a short story ("Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk") in Tales of Terror #5 (March 1986), a horror anthology published by Eclipse Comics.[2] He is best known for his work for Marvel Comics on the Daredevil series (1990–1992), where he pencilled the Last Rites storyline.[3] It featured the fall of the Kingpin and is a sequel of sorts to Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's Born Again.[4]

He collaborated with writer Howard Mackie on the Gambit limited series in 1993–1994.[5] At Dark Horse Comics, Weeks drew the Predator vs. Magnus, Robot Fighter and Tarzan vs. Predator: At the Earth's Core crossovers.[6] Back at Marvel, he wrote and drew the Spider-Man: Death and Destiny limited series in 2000[7] and worked with Tom DeFalco on Spider-Man: The Mysterio Manifesto the following year.[8]

Other Marvel Comics titles he has contributed to include Justice (1988–1989), The Destroyer (1989–1990), Spider-Man's Tangled Web (2002), Captain America vol. 4 #17-20 (with writer Dave Gibbons) (2003), The Incredible Hulk vol. 3 (2002, 2005) and the five-part Captain Marvel (2008) mini-series.[2]

In a brief period with DC Comics, Weeks penciled the 1997 48-page bookshelf format book, The Batman Chronicles: Gauntlet, which was written by Bruce Canwell.[9] He also worked as a storyboard artist for Superman: The Animated Series.[10]

Weeks is the subject of the seventeenth volume of the Modern Masters series published by TwoMorrows Publishing in 2008.[11]

Weeks is the writer and artist of "Angels Unaware", the opening three issue storyline of the eight-issue, Marvel anthology miniseries Daredevil: Dark Nights.[12] James Hunt of Comic Book Resources gave the first issue four and a half out of five stars. While Hunt praised Weeks' writing, he stated, "It's Weeks' art which really sells the story. Weeks is a very visual storyteller whose ideas translate fantastically onto the page, whether it's the ambiance of snow-covered streets or the fluid, weighty action scenes. The world looks grimy, yet ethereal. It's clear that the artists have a rock-solid grip on the character."[13] The second issue was also given four and a half out of five stars by CBR's Kelly Thompson, who called it "hauntingly beautiful and surprisingly complex in the way it addresses the ideas of being a superhero", and that the storyline is a "fantastic" look at the character.[14] He worked on Superman: Lois and Clark in 2015 with writer Dan Jurgens.[15] In 2017, Weeks drew a Batman/Elmer Fudd one-shot.[16]

Awards

In 2003, Lee Weeks shared the Haxtur Award for "Best Short Story" with Bruce Jones and Josef Rubinstein.[17]

In 2019, Weeks was awarded the Inkwell Awards All-in-One Award, having received 31% of the votes for that category.[18]
