Steve Lightle (November 19, 1959 – January 8, 2021)[1][2][3] was an American comics artist who worked primarily as a penciller.
Steve Lightle attended the Johnson County Community College in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
[citation needed] He followed this with his debut at DC Comics, drawing a 10-page story in New Talent Showcase #4 (April 1984),[5] a series intended to provide work for up-and-coming artists who did not have a regular assignment.
[12] The following year, he was the original penciller of the revival of Doom Patrol,[13] but he left after the first five-issue story arc due to creative differences.
On January 8, 2021, Lightle's wife Marianne and son Matthew announced through social media that he had suddenly died from a cardiac arrest brought on by COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Missouri.
