from Captain America: White #1 (Marvel, November 2015)
He was also the first artist to spotlight DC's prestigious and acclaimed 2004 series Solo!

Here's some of Tim's early tryout inking work for Marvel! Joe Rubinstein has great points about this inking ("draws better than most human beings"!), but I don't think he or anyone could have predicted how big Sale would become in comics.
from Marvel Age #7 (Marvel, October 1983)
As always, I never think it's fair to only present Marvel Try-Out pages as examples of an artist's work, so here's a small selection of some of my favorite pro Tim Sale work from the hundreds of pages he's drawn.
from Hulk: Gray #1 (Marvel/Marvel Knights, January 2004), script by Jeph Loeb, pencils and inks by Tim Sale, colors by Matt Hollingsworth, letters by Richard Starkings and John Roshell
from Spider-Man: Blue #5 (Marvel, November 2002), script by Jeph Loeb, pencils and inks by Tim Sale, colors by Steve Buccellato, letters by Richard Starkings and Wes Abbott
from Catwoman: When in Rome #2 (DC, December 2004), script by Jeph Loeb, pencils and inks by Tim Sale, colors by Dave Stewart, letters by Richard Starkings

Why is Matt Murdock's head turned toward the window?
And, I love this birthdays feature! This sort of thing is sorely missing from the Daily Web since Tom Spurgeon left us, and your approach is a great spin on it.
Thanks Michael! I appreciate that a lot. I'm trying to do as many creator spotlights on their birthdays as I can, but I'm never completely finished with them! More for next year, I guess!
