Doug Braithwaite


Doug Braithwaite is a British comic book artist.

Career

Braithwaite began his career working in the British comics industry starting with 2000 AD and A1; later he worked on Marvel's Earth X sequels, Universe X and Paradise X. His other works under Marvel include The Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe and Punisher: MAX #13–18, with Garth Ennis.
He had been exclusively contracted at DC, but in 2008 he announced that when his contract deal ended he would sign as an exclusive artist with Marvel for three years with his first project being Secret Invasion: Thor with writer Matt Fraction. While at DC he worked with Alex Ross and Jim Krueger again on the twelve-issue limited series JUSTICE, providing pencils and layouts.
In addition, he has illustrated issues of Ghost for Dark Horse Comics, Archer & Armstrong, for Valiant Comics, and Conan the Barbarian for Titan Comics. In 2008 he illustrated a four issue run on The Brave and the Bold with David Hine.
In April 2011 Braithwaite was one of 62 comics creators who appeared at the IGN stage at the Kapow! convention in London to set two Guinness World Records, the Fastest Production of a Comic Book, and Most Contributors to a Comic Book. With Guinness officials on hand to monitor their progress, writer Mark Millar began work at 9am scripting a 20-page black and white Superior comic book, with Braithwaite and the other artists appearing on stage throughout the day to work on the pencils, inks, and lettering, including Dave Gibbons, Frank Quitely, John Romita Jr., Jock, Ian Churchill, Olivier Coipel, Duncan Fegredo, Simon Furman, David Lafuente, John McCrea, Sean Phillips and Liam Sharp, who all drew a panel each, with regular Superior artist Leinil Yu creating the book's front cover. The book was completed in 11 hours, 19 minutes, and 38 seconds, and was published through Icon on 23 November 2011, with all royalties being donated to Yorkhill Children's Foundation.
