Artist/writer/creator Michael Golden, co-creator of the X-men's Rogue character, has a legion of devotees that number not only in aficionados of his work, but other artists as well. The "artist's artist" as it were--namely because of his signature story construction, and an art style uniquely his own.

Known for his detailed pencil work on "The 'Nam," "Micronauts,"  "G.I. Joe Yearbook," and  "Dr. Strange, " among much more, Golden, modestly never says which is his own personal favorite project.  However, according to one art dealer,  "Everybody in the business has been influenced by Golden's "Dr. Strange."  Michael himself admits that most artists that say he has an influence on their illustration career, do single out that project.

Milestones in Golden's career include the co-creation of "Bucky O'Hare," which led to an animated series and toy line designed by Michael, as well as "Spartan" with Jackie Chan, "Inside Kung Fu" columnist Ric Meyers and editor Renee Witterstaetter. Currently, Golden's work can be seen with new covers on "Nightwing", "Iron Man", "Heroes for Hire", "Exiles," "Demon's Regret" and more. In addition, Vanguard Productions recently released a Manga version of the "Bucky" series, as well as the top selling art retrospective "Excess: The Art of Michael Golden."  In addition, Creator Chronicles has also just released a two part candid DVD on Michael and his career.

As a conceptual cover artist, Golden has penciled everything from Batman and Captain America to Vampirella-- and "Virtually every character in the industry at some point or another. I'm the one they come to when they want one of those covers with a thousand characters on them," he laughs.

Michael has served as an Editor at DC Comics as well as Senior Art Director at Marvel Comics, and has worked on scores of movie production projects, including some currently in development. His art has been the foucs of gallery shows in places as diverse as Gijon and Barcelona, Spain, New York, Antwerp and Brussels, while his class on storytelling has been conducted from Spain to Brussels to Canada and the United States.

Michael Golden is also the artist of the Planet Comicon Exclusive cover edition of Uncanny X-Men #507, which will be available at Planet Comicon 2009.
