Artist Joe Bennett Signs 2-Year Exclusive Contract with DC Comics

You loved Joe Bennett's work on The Crew, Amazing Spider-Man, Captain America and the Falcon, Elektra — now his action-packed art is exclusive to DC Comics through 2006! Bennett explodes into the DCU with a run on HAWKMAN beginning with issue #35, scheduled to arrive in stores on December 15.

"It's a real honor to be a DC exclusive artist," says Bennett. "It's always rewarding when people enjoy what you do, and it's even more rewarding when you love doing it! DC has been very kind to me since the beginning of our relationship. And the DCU is a vast territory for me to explore in the years to come. Working with Editor Stephen Wacker, writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray and inker Ruy Josè on HAWKMAN has been a real joy for me. And I can't wait to see what comes next!"

"Joe brings a very dynamic, powerful style to the DCU that we're looking forward to seeing on HAWKMAN and other projects down the road," says Dan DiDio, VP - Executive Editor, DCU.
