Brett Breeding has enjoyed nearly forty-six years as a comic book artist, illustrating and creating characters for Marvel and DC Comics as well as numerous independent publishers. Primarily known for his finished inks over pencilers George Perez, Ron Frenz, Dan Jurgens, Bob Hall, and Kerry Gammill, Brett has also done penciling, traditional and computer coloring, as well as story development and plotting. He is a co-creator of DC Comics characters Doomsday, Blaze, Lord Satanus and Shadowdragon as well as Marvel Comics’ Dargo Thor.

Brett has worked on many titles for Marvel and DC Comics, but is most recognized for his work on the Superman titles, notably the “Death of Superman” storyline, as well as the Spider-Man titles, The Mighty Thor, The Avengers and West Coast Avengers, the Hawkeye Limited Series and the first comic series featuring the Thundercats. While working on Thor #390 with Ron Frenz, Brett originated the idea that Steve Rogers would be worthy to wield Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir, and Ron and writer Tom DeFalco made it a key part of the story. Over 30 years later Brett’s idea would be immortalized on the big screen as a key moment in Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame.

Brett regularly produces licensing art for DC Comics and Warner Brothers Consumer Products, and in 2012 he created numerous children’s books and digital interactive iPad apps featuring Superman and Batman for WB Global Publishing which are available digitally on Amazon.

Recently, Brett returned to Marvel, inking occasional covers and interior story pages, as well as special projects for the MCU. In 2022, for the first time in over 25 years, Brett again teamed up with Dan Jurgens on Superman to create artwork for the main story for the 30th Anniversary of The Death of Superman Special Edition comic, followed in 2023 with the 30th Anniversary of the Reign of the Supermen Special Edition. They continue to team up on covers for Marvel and DC special projects. Brett’s most recent project teamed him again with long-time collaborator Ron Frenz for a 10-page story in Venom #252, an homage to their first team-up together on Amazing Spider-Man #252 published back in 1984.
