KEVIN NOWLAN...is The Finisher

Style can often be a bad word when applied to art because many people choose it over the substance of good drawing. So, when a guy like Kevin Nowlan comes along with this wonderfully natural approach to rendering, mood and style, he's a breath of fresh air. Kevin started out in the early 80's drawing for fanzines like The Comics Journal and Amazing Heroes, then quickly graduated to mainstream comic work for Marvel. It wasn't long before he was in demand not only as a penciler, but even more so as an inker and a finisher (see: The Outsiders Annual, Superman Aliens and Strange Tales). And it's Nowlan's fresh and distinctive way with a brush that's kept him the busiest over these many years. During the holidays, we got a chance to talk with him about his diverse career and his reputation as "The Finisher". Our conversation includes his current run of covers for Metamorpho Year One, his friend Terry Austin's helping hand (and million dollar misstep...ouch!), inking the legendary Gil Kane and his character designs for the first season of Batman: The Animated Series. Kevin's a super nice guy and we're grateful he took some time out to speak with us!
