GEORGES JEANTY
was born in Brooklyn, New York,
raised near the sunny beaches of Miami, Florida, and currently
resides in Atlanta, Georgia. After majoring in the Fine
Arts, at Miami-dade University, he considered a career in acting,
but decided to use his artistic talent to pursue a career as a commercial
artist.
Inspired by the comics he read as a kid- 70’s comic book superhero icons
like Luke Cage, Fantastic Four and Saga of the Swamp Thing-
Georges made comic books his focus. His artist influences includes John
Bryne, Michael Golden, Alan Davis, and a list of others
too long to include here.
Georges’ first break into comics was Paradigm #1 (1994) published by
Caliber Comics. Soon after, he worked on the bad girl books for
London Night Studios, laying his artistic hands on various characters
like Poizon, Stryke and Razor. This led to his work
with other underground comic book publishers, as well as being a member of
Gaijin Studios.
After breaking in at DC Comics, on titles like Green Lantern,
Superboy and Superman, Marvel Comics offered him, a new
title they were starting up- Bishop: The Last X-man. His early Marvel
work also included the Gambit series and a few Deadpool
issues. Georges received rave reviews for Deadpool, and continued his
Marvel-mutant-mania with the Weapon X monthly series.
In 2006, Wildstorm Comics paired Georges with Hollywood screenwriter
John Ridley, for The American Way, a controversial comic book
mini-series set in the turbulent '60s, that received tremendous underground
and internet buzz. Georges soon had another brush with Hollywood royalty,
when Joss Whedon hand-picked him to be the regular artist of the
highly anticipated Buffy: The Vampire Slayer Season 8 comic book
series published by Dark Horse Comics.
In addition to being an incredibly charming person, Georges is a man of many
hats- adventurer, scholar, Prince officianonto, Godzilla fan, sometimes
table dancer, and all around nice guy. But above all these, "Comic Book
Artist" seems to best fit our man of mirth, mystery and intrigue!
