Peter "Pete" Woods is a comic book artist, illustrator^[1], and penciller. He is best known for his work on titles such as Backlash, Deadpool, Robin, Catwoman, Amazons Attack and Action Comics.

Woods worked as an intern for Wildstorm comics in April 1996 working under artist Jim Lee. He later partnered with other Portland, Oregon area artists and formed Mercury Studio in 2002. Mercury Studio increased in membership and changed its name to "Periscope Studios" in June 2007, but remains a collective of cartoonists, illustrators, writers, concept designers, graphic novelists, and storyboard artists based in Portland, Oregon. His wife Rebecca, whom he met at Wildstorm, is also a part of the Portland studio.
