[edit] Biography

He is most famous for his work on Marvelman (Miracleman, in the USA), Hellblazer,[1] and Fables, including a story in the original graphic novel 1001 Nights of Snowfall.[2] His Marvel work includes inking Chris Bachalo's pencils on Generation X, Ghost Rider 2099, and penciling Paul Jenkins's run on Peter Parker: Spider-Man. For DC Comics, Buckingham has inked the two Death miniseries and was the original penciller on the Titans series.
During the Vertigo Voices: Fables Forum panel at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con, Fables creator and writer Bill Willingham announced that he and Buckingham will switch roles in an upcoming one-off Fables story. Meaning Buckingham will write and Willingham will illustrate.[3]
He was married in Gijón, Spain in August 2006 to journalist and TV newscaster Irma Page. His best man was Neil Gaiman.[4]
