BART SEARS EXLCUSIVE TO DC COMICS
Bart Sears, recent artist of Captain America and the Falcon and former art director for CrossGen Entertainment, has signed a two-year exclusive agreement with DC Comics.
"I've been away a long time, and it feels great to be back at DC, where I started with Justice League Europe," Sears said.
"I really like pencilling and inking my own work, and that's what this exclusive gives me, as well as the chance to do some writing in the future, which I'm looking forward to."
"We're very happy to have Bart Sears back with DC, and we're excited to see him apply his skills as both an artist and a designer on projects including Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight and the upcoming Warlord series," said Dan DiDio, VP -- Executive Editor, DCU. "I couldn't be happier to have him on board!"
