Jack Purcell graduated with a bachelors degree in Illustration from
Massachusetts College of Art in 1996. He began his work both
penciling and inking in various independent jobs with a variety of
companies, in addition to freelance illustration for companies like Best
Buy, New Jersey Fireworks and Digi magazine. Jack has taught
workshops in comic book creation for the last 16 years in schools,
libraries and museums and feels very old when he says that out loud.
He eventually focused on inking and has worked on various
independent titles, Heavy Metal magazine, and a variety of titles for
Marvel Comics and DC Comics. Titles include Gotham Underground,
JSA Classified, Green Arrow, Detective Comics, Amazing Fantasy,
Countdown, Batgirl and others. Jack considers it a dream come true to
be working for the “big two” and can be found at cons like the NYC and
San Diego comic-cons as well as the occasional Boston show. He
happily lives in western Massachusetts with his wife, son, dog, cat and
WWE championship belt.
