Being able to fulfill my dream of working with these characters and making this my job is priceless. It’s been more than ten years living these adventures every day, working side by side with great writers like James Tynion IV, Chip Zdarsky, Scott Snyder and Peter Tomasi from whom I have learned so much, taking inspiration from my fellow artists who, always accompanied by the great editors at DC.”

Jorge Jiménez burst onto the pages of American comics in 2011 and his talent immediately caught readers’ attention.

Tomasi and Scott Snyder. He’s currently completing his greatest accomplishment yet—a five-year run on the company’s flagship comic book series Batman with superstar writers James Tynion IV and Chip Zdarsky. In recent years Jiménez has co-created and designed new characters Punchline, Failsafe, Ghostmaker, and Crush, among others, while developing iconic new looks for fan-favorites like the Scarecrow, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy. Now, over a decade of eye-popping art is collected in one place for fans to revel in the full breadth of Jorge’s DC portfolio.
