WRITER AND ARTIST -inspired cover to '' Ninjak '' #3 (Apr 1994).]] Quesada started out as an artist in the early 1990s. His first widely distributed works were for Valiant Comics where he penciled and plotted Ninjak , X-O Manowar and others. His art was heavily influenced by Japanese manga, evidenced by large, watery eyes, long, flowing hair, and unnatural body proportions. Several of his page compositions reflect the Art Nouveau style of Alphonse Mucha . He also had a unique and flashy way of illustrating the reflection of light. Later, he formed his own publishing company, Event Comics , and created Ash , a Firefighter with Superpower s. In 1998 , Event Comics was contracted to do several books for Marvel Comics , dubbed '' Marvel Knights ''. As editor of Marvel Knights, Quesada encouraged experimentation and used his contacts in the indie comics world to bring in new creators such as David Mack , Mike Oeming , Brian Michael Bendis , Garth Ennis , and Steve Dillon . Quesada also illustrated a well-received '' Daredevil '' story written by cult film director Kevin Smith . Due to the success of the Marvel Knights line, Joe Quesada ended up taking a more managerial role at Marvel, and became Editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics in 2000. He also sits on the executive board of comic book charity A Commitment To Our Roots . EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF MARVEL COMICS |
