Gordon Purcell (born February 14, 1959)[1] is an American comics artist, perhaps best known for his Star Trek work,[2] in particular his realistic renditions of the actors who play that franchise's characters, as well as those of similarly licensed books, such as The X-Files, Xena: Warrior Princess, Lost in Space, Godzilla, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Barb Wire, and The Terminator.
Purcell cites his work on Gammarauders, stating that having to ink his own pencils taught him a lot about what information he needed to give to his future inkers.
Having had only two hours of sleep, he won $50,000.00, deciding to quit when he could not answer the question of which U.S. state signed a 1790 treaty under the threat of being declared a foreign nation.
On January 21, 2014, Purcell won a trip to Florida in the daily trivia contest that is part of TV's Live With Kelly and Michael.
On January 25, 2019, Purcell again won a trip, this time to Antigua, in the daily trivia contest that is part of TV's Live With Kelly and Ryan.
