Jimenez started out in 1993 inking
Carlos Pacheco's pencils at
Marvel UK and rapidly became well known in the
American comic industry for his art on titles such as
The Flash,
JLA and
Contest of Champions II. He commenced work on
Avataars: Covenant of the Shield but, according to editor
Tom Brevoort, "Oscar Jimenez fell apart halfway through the project, requiring us to bring in other diverse hands to finish it up." The artist has recently returned to mainstream American comics work under the pseudonym Juan Barranco, filling in on
Squadron Supreme. He is currently doing work on
Avatar's
Gravel series as well as
Chronicles of Wormwood: The Last Battle, a mini-series being written by
Garth Ennis. ==Bibliography==
