Biography

Presented his first professional work by DC Comics editor Bob Schreck, Steven Cummings penciled an unpublished inventory issue of Green Lantern featuring John Stewart. This work opened the doorway for Gene Pool (a graphic novella written by Marv Wolfman and Len Wein through IDW Publishing).

Since then Cummings has worked for Marvel Comics on Elektra and New Excalibur. He has also worked with DC Comics editor Joey Cavalieri on Flash (written by Geoff Johns and featuring the Mirror Master), the Deadshot mini-series and Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight (on which he did both the pencils and the inks). Kenzer & Company, Arcana Studio, Th3rdWorld Studios and Devil's Due Publishing have also contracted him to do covers for their books.

Beyond the U.S. direct market, Steven Cummings had a graphic album published in Europe by Les Humanoïdes Associés. As well, Cummings, along with writer Paul Benjamin, has developed a manga, Pantheon High, for TokyoPop. Pantheon High marks the debut of his wife, Megumi Cummings, as his inker. This book also features Cummings' first printed zip-a-tone work as well as hand-colored cover.

He drew the manga CSI: Intern at Your Own Risk for Tokyopop written by Sekou Hamilton. Like all his manga work, CSI is also created with the help of his wife Megumi. He has also worked on art for Canada's Udon Entertainment.

Steven Cummings also shares a forum at PaperFilms' Forum (a site run by Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner and Justin Gray).
