George Freeman (born May 27, 1951,[1] in Selkirk, Manitoba)[2] is a Canadian comic book penciller, inker, and colorist.
Freeman's comic book illustrating career began with Richard Comely's independent Canadian publication, Captain Canuck. He made the move to the majors and subsequently worked on several superhero comics, such as Green Lantern, Aquaman, Jack of Hearts and the Avengers. He drew a story in Batman Annual #11 written by writer Alan Moore. In addition, he was one of several rotating artists on the short-lived horror comic anthology Wasteland by writer and actor Del Close and writer John Ostrander. Freeman took turns with artists Don Simpson, William Messner-Loebs, and David Lloyd on drawing one of the three horror stories in each issue, the fourth artist providing the cover.
In 1991, Freeman co-founded Digital Chameleon, the Winnipeg-based comics coloring and inking studio.
