Comic Book Artist
Joe Weems began his professional career straight out of high school working
for independent publisher Eros. His work on Vengeance of Vampirella lead
to inking penciller Kirk Van Wormer on Chains of Chaos and The Rook, and
then eventually some fill-in work at Rob Liefeld's Extreme Studios. Catching
the eye of Top Cow Studios in 1996, Joe was paired with Anthony Winn for the
new series Ripclaw. Over the next five years he would go on to ink such
popular artists as Dave Finch, Brandon Petersen, Mike Turner, Joe Benitez
and eventually Marc Silvestri. From 2000-2005 Joe broke out of comics and
illustrated numerous skateboard decks and graphics for Darkstar Skateboards.
During this time he also worked with publishers Dark Horse, Wildstorm,
Crossgen, DC and Marvel Comics before returning to Top Cow and inking
Silvestri (whom he continues to work with to this day). When not inking Joe
can be found grinding another toon to 70 on Rexxar.
