Bob McLeod (comics)

Bob McLeod (born August 9,[1] 1951)[2] is an American comics artist best known for co-creating the New Mutants with writer Chris Claremont.

[5] He was a member of The Crusty Bunkers inkers[6] while working at Adams' Continuity Studios, and he became an inker at Marvel and DC Comics on many series, including The Incredible Hulk, Conan the Barbarian, Legion of Super Heroes, Detective Comics, Wonder Woman, and The New Titans, as well as penciling Star Wars and several Spider-Man fill-ins for Marvel.

[8] In a 2008 interview, McLeod looked back on The New Mutants as "one of the most frustrating experiences of my career", recounting having to ink the graphic novel while on his honeymoon and later give up doing pencils on the regular series because he could not keep up with the monthly pace at the time and felt he was producing substandard work.

He has written and illustrated a children's book, Superhero ABC, which was published by HarperCollins in 2006 and received starred reviews from School Library Journal and ABA Booklist.

He also edited TwoMorrows Publishing's Rough Stuff magazine which featured interviews and art by top creators in the comics field.
