Merge:Andy Kubert



Andy Kubert is an American comic book artist, the son of Joe Kubert and brother of Adam Kubert, both of whom are also artists. He is a graduate of and an instructor of second-year classes at the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art, founded by his father (who also teaches there).

While he got his start at DC Comics drawing Adam Strange and the Batman vs. Predator crossover he is probably best-known for his work at Marvel Comics. He started out as a fill-in artist for Jim Lee on Uncanny X-Men (drawing the first full appearance of Gambit) he is most well known for his work on the X-Men titles.

Both Adam and his brother Andy signed exclusive contracts to work for DC Comics in 2005. This came as somewhat of a shock to the industry as both the Kubert's (along with John Romita, Jr.) were known as Marvel comics' stalwarts, and the Kubert's were well known for their company loyalty. When Valiant Comics tried to lure the brothers over from Marvel in 1994 for exorbitant sums of money, they both blindly refused opting to keep their home at Marvel Comics.

In a Wizard interview, the brothers made clear that they held no animosity for Marvel, but instead were excited for the chance to work on DC titles for a change. Adam consequently remained at Marvel for around 15 years, working on most of their high profile books and firmly entrenching himself as an industry superstar.
