About Dale Keown
Dale Keown is a Canadian comic book writer and artists known for his runs of Marvel’s Incredible Hulk and his creator-owned character, Pitt. He started working in comics in 1986 drawing several series for Aircel Comics, including Samurai, Elflord, Dragon Ring (later Dragonforce), and Warlock 5.
Keown moved to Marvel Comics in 1989, where he first worked on Nth Man: the Ultimate Ninja, before replacing Jeff Purves on The Incredible Hulk. His work on Hulk with writer Peter David, created one of the more memorable runs of the book. David has named Keown one of the three artists whose art has mostly closely matched the visuals he conceived when writing scripts.
Keown left Marvel in 1993 to start publishing Pitt at Image Comics where its groundbreaking and dynamic visuals made it a phenomenal success. In 1995, publication of Pitt was moved over to Keown’s own company, Full Bleed Studios.
A favorite of both fans and his fellow-artists, Keown continued working for the mainstream, drawing The Darkness for Top Cow and teaming up with Peter David once more with Hulk: The End for Marvel. Keown also illustrated a crossover featuring The Darkness and the Hulk.
Keown also illustrated the Hulkmemorabilia that was released to coincide with the 2003 feature film Hulk. A much in-demand talent, Dale continued astonishing fans the world over with his dynamic art working on such iconic books as The Darkness / Pitt, and Beserker.
He most recently returned the freedom-filled realm of independent comics by co-creating Gemshockwith Mandy Summers for Stuntman Comics and illustrating stories and covers for Cyberfrog , Godlike, Inglorious Rex,and Wraith of God.
Keown is currently working on the much anticipated 30th Anniversary Pitt Omnibus. Chockful of extras, the massive 466-page, premium formatted, full color book collects the entire and no-longer-in print Pitt saga. The Omnibus’ Indiegogo sign up page can be found here:
