Information about the artist Joseph Linsner
Joseph Michael Linsner has quickly become one of the comic book
industry's most celebrated artists. While he is most often
associated with beautiful women, Linsner's paintings also
incorporate a rich vocabulary of symbolic subtext, weaving images
of theology, psychology, and myth together into a moving fabric of
line and color.
Cry for Dawn Volume I, published in 1989, marked Linsner's debut
as both publisher and writer/artist. Cry for Dawn publications
released nine issues of its flagship title, as well as the Monks
collaboration Subtle Violence, before disbanding in 1993.
Since then Sirius Publishing has released a collection of Linsner's Cry for
Dawn work called Angry Christ Comics, a limited edition book called Tears for
Dawn, and one issue of the full-color Drama. Linsner is currently
creating his most ambitious work, the six-issue Dawn series. It tells
the story of Linsner's most popular creation, Dawn, as she travels between Heaven,
Hell, and New York.
Linsner is contributing the first two covers to Jitterbug Press' Coven of Angels series.
He has also painted covers for DC Comics, London Night Studios, and Topps.
He is currently continuing his work on the Dawn series and planning a sequel to his
extremely popular card set, Dawn and Beyond.
