Career
Weeks made his professional comics debut penciling, inking, and lettering a short story ("Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk") in Tales of Terror #5 (March 1986), a horror anthology published by Eclipse Comics.[1] He is best known for his work for Marvel Comics on Daredevil series (1990–1992), where he pencilled the Last Rites storyline.[2] It featured the fall of the Kingpin and is a sequel of sorts to Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's Born Again.
He collaborated with writer Howard Mackie on the Gambit limited series in 1993–1994.[3] At Dark Horse Comics, Weeks drew the Predator vs. Magnus, Robot Fighter and Tarzan vs. Predator at the Earth's Core crossovers.[4] Back at Marvel, he wrote and drew the Spider-Man: Death and Destiny limited series in 2000[5] and worked with Tom DeFalco on Spider-Man: The Mysterio Manifesto the following year.[6]
Other Marvel Comics titles he has contributed to include Justice (1988–1989), The Destroyer (1989–1990), Spider-Man's Tangled Web (2002), Captain America vol. 4 #17-20 (with writer Dave Gibbons) (2003), The Incredible Hulk vol. 3 (2002, 2005) and the five-part Captain Marvel (2008) mini-series.[1]
In a brief period with DC Comics, Weeks penciled the 1997 48-page bookshelf format book, The Batman Chronicles: Gauntlet, which was written by Bruce Canwell.[7] He also worked as a storyboard artist for Superman: The Animated Series.[8]
Weeks is the subject of the seventeenth volume of the Modern Masters series published by TwoMorrows Publishing in 2008.[9]
Weeks is the writer and artist of "Angels Unaware", the opening three issue storyline of the eight-issue, Marvel anthology miniseries Daredevil: Dark Nights.[10] James Hunt of Comic Book Resources gave the first issue four and a half out of five stars. While Hunt praised Weeks' writing, he stated, "It's Weeks' art which really sells the story. Weeks is a very visual storyteller whose ideas translate fantastically onto the page, whether it's the ambiance of snow-covered streets or the fluid, weighty action scenes. The world looks grimy, yet ethereal. It's clear that the artists have a rock-solid grip on the character."[11] The second issue was also given four and a half out of five stars by CBR's Kelly Thompson, who called it "hauntingly beautiful and surprisingly complex in the way it addresses the ideas of being a superhero", and that the storyline is a "fantastic" look at the character.[12] As of 2015, he is pencilling Superman: Lois and Clark and working with writer Dan Jurgens.[13]
Awards
In 2003, Lee Weeks shared the Haxtur Award for "Best Short Story" with Bruce Jones and Josef Rubinstein.[14]
