Ethan Van Sciver
Ethan Daniel Van Sciver (/vænˈskaɪvər/; born September 3, 1974) is an American comics artist. He has done interior and cover art for a number of superhero titles, primarily for DC Comics, including Green Lantern and The Flash: Rebirth, as well as New X-Men for Marvel Comics.
In the late 2010s, his "ComicArtistPro Secrets" channel on YouTube focused on right-wing social commentary, through which he became a central figure in Comicsgate.
Ethan Van Sciver was born September 3, 1974 in Utah. He and his younger brother, alternative cartoonist Noah Van Sciver, grew up in Merchantville in southern New Jersey, and he graduated from Pennsauken High School in 1992.
Van Sciver decided on a career in the comic-book field after seeing the 1978 film Superman as a child, but only began to read comics intently with John Byrne's The Man of Steel in 1986. He cites Chris Claremont and Jon Bogdanove's Fantastic Four vs. the X-Men (1987) as a strong influence.
While in high school, Van Sciver did various art-related jobs, which included painting murals of Native Americans, drawing caricatures for mall customers, illustrating children's books, and airbrushing t-shirts.
Van Sciver's first comics work was published in 1994, writing and drawing what he later called "a horrible little character called Cyberfrog", published by Hall of Heroes and later Harris Comics.
His first work for DC Comics was in 1998, which led to him being hired in 1999 as the artist on the series Impulse, with writer Todd Dezago. This was followed in 2001 by the first of what would become several collaborations with writer Geoff Johns, on the superhero-horror one-shot The Flash: Iron Heights.
Van Sciver was hired by Marvel Comics in 2001 to work on New X-Men, a retitled and revamped series (beginning with #114) written by Grant Morrison. The series' primary artist Frank Quitely was not expected to illustrate the necessary twelve issues per year, so Van Sciver was scheduled to illustrate two issues per year, which expanded to more issues as Igor Kordey was also hired as a semi-regular artist. Van Sciver drew a total of four issues. In issue #133 (December 2002) of this series, Morrison and Van Sciver co-created the character Dust, a Sunni Muslim mutant who can transform into sand.
