Today in Comics History, April 1: Happy birthday, Tom Raney!

Born on this day: Tom Raney, comic book artist on many books, including Stormwatch, Thor, Outsiders, Uncanny X-Men, Green Lantern, Mutant X, Black Widow, Avengers Academy and more! And this...his first artwork in print!



from Marvel Age #94 (Marvel, November 1990)



I know, it's not fair to an artist to just spotlight his early work! So here's some pro-era Tom Raney art from a couple comics I really like:



from Dark Reign: Hawkeye #3 (Marvel, August 2009), script by Andy Diggle, pencils by Tom Raney, inks by Scott Hanna, colors by Guru eFX, letters by Dave Sharpe



from Uncanny X-Men #460 (Marvel, August 2005), script by Chris Claremont, pencils by Tom Raney, inks by Scott Hanna, colors by Gina Going, letters by Rus Wooton
Happy birthday, Tom Raney!
