Superstar artist Jae Lee returns to Image Comics with the new series Seven Sons. Co-written by Robert Windom and Kelvin Mao, the seven-issue miniseries will be Lee’s first creator-owned project for the publisher since 1994’s Hellshock. The series follows the adventures of a young man who may be the second coming of Jesus; the first issue goes on sale in print and digital June 15.
Jae Lee has a distinct style all his own, one that set him apart from his contemporaries. Jae Lee broke into the American comics industry in 1991, illustrating an eight-part Beast story for Marvel Comics Presents. From there, he took over penciling Namor the Sub-Mariner as well as X-Factor. These two titles helped turn Jae Lee into a superstar, and as with most artists at that time, found his way to Image Comics, illustrating various Youngblood and WildCats titles. In 1994, he launched the creator-owned Hellshock with Image; the series would run through two volumes over the next few years. After the book completed its run, Lee returned to Marvel, illustrating the various Dark Tower mini-series, as well as providing numerous covers for a variety of publishers. Now, 28 years after Hellshock’s debut, Jae Lee returns to Image Comics, illustrating the new Biblical thriller Seven Sons.
