Broken Frontier

Artist Patrick Gleason has signed a 2-year exclusive agreement with DC Comics.  Gleason, the monthly penciller of AQUAMAN, also drew the Special JLA: WELCOME TO THE WORKING WEEK.

“Being a part of DC is like being a part of history,” says Gleason.  “I'm so honored that they want me among their ranks.  It has been my absolute privilege to work with the best writers, editors and behind-the-scenes crews there.  [Senior Editor] Pete Tomasi is one of those people.  Without him, I wouldn’t be in this position.  He's always been a stand-up editor and true to his word.  I'll be proud to continue to work for him and DC Comics.”

“Patrick breathes energy, passion and detail into each page, and it's been a true pleasure watching him hone his craft over the past few years,” says Tomasi.  “It also doesn't hurt that he's a consummate pro and a pleasure to work with.  AQUAMAN has never looked better, and we've got plans for Patrick that will put his work into even more readers’ hands.”
