Biography
In his early career Gary Frank frequently worked with inker Cam Smith (The Incredible Hulk, Supergirl, Gen¹³).
On May 10, 2007, having worked several years on a Marvel exclusive contract, Frank signed a new one with DC Comics. He most recently served as the regular series artist on Action Comics with writer Geoff Johns.[1] After the New Krypton story arc, Action Comics became a title headlined by Kryptonian heroes Nightwing and Flamebird. As a result of this, the creative team on Action Comics changed.[2]
Frank and Johns will still be working with Superman, however, in a six-issue mini-series entitled Superman: Secret Origin. The story features what Johns and DC Executive Editor Dan DiDio are calling a "definitive" telling of the origin story of Superman, dealing with his life in Smallville, his first adventure with the Legion of Super-Heroes as Superboy, and his arrival in Metropolis and at the Daily Planet.[3] Frank and Johns will also collaborate on a Original out of continuity graphic novel starring Batman titled Batman Earth One. [4] The novel is the first in a series of graphic novel scheduled in 2010 that is a redfining of Batman. [5]
