Where are they now?

Marathon

This is a thread to discuss the whereabouts of creators that seem to have dropped off your own particular radar. First up:

Tom Peyer.
Phil Jimenez - I last saw him working on Spider-Man, but I haven't seen him recently.

Peter

Phil Jimenez will be doing Savage Wolverine for a few issues starting with issue 12. He did the Fearless Defenders Age of Ultron tie in issue as well.

He was all over the PBS documentary but I'm not sure what he's been working on lately.

According to his Tumblr, Tom Peyer is writing some stories for Batman ’66.

Greg

Phil will also be doing some cover work for IDW on Transformers.

Roger Cruz. I really liked him in the '90s. Whenever he's shown up post-2000 I've been like 'Hey--Roger Cruz!'.

Where's Fabian Nicieza, Marcos Martin, Dan Jurgens, Roger Stern, Tom Grummett, Tom Lyle, Terry Kavanagh and Ian Churchill?

If I'm not mistaken, I believe I've heard that Austin had retired. (But I'd love to be proven worng.)

Fabian Nicieza had been doing Teen Titans for a few issues. I think he's doing some other DC books that I'm not keeping up with. Wish he would get a long run on something I'm reading.

Terry is far from retired. He’s been working mostly for Archie the past several years. I just talked with him a couple of months ago, and he was swamped with work.

I am very happy to hear that. I always considered him to be the best inker in the business; good to hear that he's still getting work.

I think Dan Jurgens has been doing work for DC's new 52. Apparently he'll be part of DC's forthcoming weekly book.

Marcos Martin has been working on The Private Eye, a creator owned book with Brian K Vaughn, which is amazing, digital, and pay-what-you-want.

Dan Curtis Johnson. His Chase run was magical, but he drifted off the map after a while.

Ian Churchill was doing some work for DC recently. I think he might have done that "Ravengers" (spellling?) series? Before that he did some creator-owned work at Image. Something about an aquatic super-hero. Five years ago he did a Teen Titans revamp. I haven't read any of that, but I remember hearing about it. I liked the guy's art when he did Cable and a Deadpool mini-series in like 1994.

Tom Grummet did some Avengers Academy issues last year. A few years ago he did a run of X-Men Forever with Chris Claremont. Everything he's done in the last few years has been solid, in my opinion, writing and art.

The creator-owned book you're thinking of is Marineman, which was actually a very fun book. A pity it only went six issues. As someone who wanted to be Jacques Cousteau when I was a kid, I liked that he had short interviews with real life marine biologists and oceanologists at the back of each issue. And it was better than what DC was doing with Aquaman at the time.

Where is Chuck Austen? Oh wait! Who cares?

Oh really? Didn't realize he was back hanging with the Titans. I wish he'd get some Marvel work, or work on a title I'd at least be modestly interested in. I agree, I also wish he'd get a nice long run on a book I'd actually want to read. He's a fantastic writer, and he knows how to see plotlines, etc.

Glad to hear he's got more work lined up. I might have to check it out, I miss having more Jurgens in my comic-reading diet. Loved his relatively recent work on Booster Gold, prior to the New 52.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot he was working on that! Sometimes it's easy to lose sight of these guys when they go from mainstream, marquee books, to their passion projects, like this one. I'll have to give it a shot!

I was a big fan of Churchill back on Cable, in the mid-90s, around 95 or so, and liked the few issues he drew of Uncanny X-Men in early 2000s. Since then, I've seen very little of his work.

Tom Grummett I miss on a regular basis. I loved his Avengers Academy work, and wish we could get more of him currently.

Chuck_Melville

I know Grummett did something just recently, but I can't recall what it was... Jurgens had worked, briefly, on both Superman and Green Arrow since the New52 began, but was pulled off of both titles. Niceza, as noted, was working on Teen Titans... and wasn't he also on the Red Robin book (whateverthetitlewas) for awhile?

Last I heard of Terry Kavanagh, he was the co-founder of an internet start-up called My Coffee Bean.

Whatever happened to Barry Windsor-Smith or Joe Rubinstein?

Kurt Busiek? Is he doing anything other than Astro City?
