From the who's who in
THIEVES' WORLD GRAPHICS 1
Tim Sale attended the School of Visual Arts
in Manhattan while simultaneously taking John Buscema's workshop in comic
illustration in the mid 1970's.
A loyal resident of Seattle, Washington, he started the Grey Archer
Press with his sister and works closely with Northern Lights, a
coalition of Northwest fantasy artists.
Currently, Tim splits his time between the Thieves' World Graphics
and inking the Myth Adventures graphic adaptation of Asprin's Myth
books. Perhaps the most physically active of the team, he enjoys
bicycling in his native city of Seattle during his spare time.
Tim continues to show his work at conventions and haunts soccor
fields in his spare time.
 [About
the only other thing I've found by Tim is a 4-parter called Billi
99 from Dark Horse. It's done in a very style similiar to the
TWGNs. He has also illustrated Batman comics. Oh, and a cool picture
of Exedor in Robotech Art 2 - Mic]
Laurie Sutton
has worked as an editor for both DC Comics and Marvel/Epic Comics
but her enthusiasm and experience extend beyond the world of the
graphic novel and comic format. Her sense of visual storytelling
combined with her literary expertise make her the perfect editorial
guide for the transition of Thieves' World's existing prose into
its new, illustrated home.
Based in Manhattan, she is currently doing freelance editing and
writing. Her other interests include film, interior design, football,
the study of anything Japanese, and aviation.
Kay Reynolds,
the editor-in-chief (or Head-Ed) of Donning/Starblaze, has the thankless
task of coordinating the efforts of the Thieves' World Graphics
team with the production and marketing schedule of her company.
With her heart in fandom and her head in the business world (accounting),
Reynolds created the Starblaze Graphics line of comic illustrated
adventure when she initiated the publication of ElfQuest Books 1,
2, 3, and 4, the colour volumes, in 1981 for Donning. Her skilful
marketing of ElfQuest to mainstream bookstores opened the doors
for a wider public exposure and acceptance of stories in the graphic
novel format.
