Dale Keown is a
Canadian comic book artist from Grande Prairie, Alberta. He started working in comics in 1986 drawing several series for
Aircel Comics, including
Samurai,
Elflord,
DragonRing (later
DragonForce), and
Warlock 5. In 1989, Keown moved to
Marvel Comics, where he first worked on
Nth Man: the Ultimate Ninja, before replacing
Jeff Purves on
The Incredible Hulk. Keown worked on Hulk with writer
Peter David, creating one of the most memorable runs of the book, until leaving it in 1993, to start publishing his self-created
Pitt at
Image Comics. In 1995, publication of
Pitt was moved over to Full Bleed Studios (Dale Keown's own company). He gradually lost interest and began working for other companies once more, drawing
The Darkness for
Top Cow and teaming up with
Peter David once more with
Hulk: The End for Marvel. Keown also drew a
crossover featuring
The Darkness and the Hulk.
Keown drew many of the pictures for the Hulk memorabilia that was released to coincide with the 2003 Hulk movie.
As of September 2005 Keown has been working on a crossover of The Darkness and Pitt, to be written by Paul Jenkins and illustrated by Keown, with a special preview book released in December 2006 and the full limited series due in 2007.
