Dodson began his illustration career in 1991 at
Revolutionary Comics, drawing issues of ''
Rock 'N' Roll Comics'' that featured illustrated bios of performers like
Rod Stewart (#38) and others. He first came to mainstream prominence as the artist on
Malibu Comics'
Ultraverse title
Mantra in 1993. He co-created the character with writer
Mike W. Barr. In early 1996, he drew a four issue
Storm mini series (starring the
X-Men character of the same name), which was written by
Warren Ellis,
inked by
Karl Story and published by
Marvel Comics. Later that same year this creative team reunited for another X-Men-related limited series — the three-issue
Pryde and Wisdom title, starring
Kitty Pryde and
Pete Wisdom. In 1998, he became the regular penciller of Marvel's
Generation X, where he remained until 2000 (#38-60). In 2000, Dodson left Marvel for
DC Comics where he pencilled a
Harley Quinn ongoing series written by
Karl Kesel. He left the title a year later. Dodson returned to Marvel in 2002 to draw
Spider-Man and the Black Cat: The Evil that Men Do, a limited series which was not completed until 2006 due to delays. In 2003, Dodson and writer
Mark Millar produced a controversial limited series titled
Trouble, which was published through Marvel's
Epic Comics imprint. The series which was supposedly aimed at a teenage girl audience, featured suggestive photo covers of girls in bikinis and seemed to reveal details about Peter Parker (
Spider-Man)'s true parentage. In 2004, Dodson and Millar reteamed to launch a new ongoing
Spider-Man series,
Marvel Knights Spider-Man. They left after a 12-issue arc. Dodson provided covers and interior art for DC Comics' 2006 relaunch of
Wonder Woman. He has also completed the first volume of
Songes: Coraline, a comic strip which is edited and published in France and Spain. Dodson and artist
Greg Land alternated story arcs on Marvel's
Uncanny X-Men, with drawing issues #504 to #538. In 2014,
General Mills enlisted the help of DC Comics to create new designs for its
monster-themed cereals in time for Halloween. The designs, revealed on August 6, consisted of a
Count Chocula design by Dodson, a Boo Berry design by
Jim Lee, and a
Franken-Berry design by Dave Johnson. Other projects in the 2010s include pencilling issues of
Defenders,
X-Men,
Avengers & X-Men AXIS and
Star Wars: Princess Leia for Marvel Comics and
Red One for
Image Comics. ==Bibliography==
