[edit] Career
Dodson first came to prominence as the artist on Malibu Comics' Ultraverse title Mantra in 1993. He co-created the character with writer Mike W. Barr.
In early 1996, he drew a four issue Storm mini series (starring the X-Men character of the same name), which was written by Warren Ellis, inked by Karl Story and published by Marvel Comics.
Later that same year this creative team reunited for another X-Men-related limited series - the 3 issue Pryde and Wisdom title, starring Kitty Pryde and Pete Wisdom.
In 1998, he became regular penciller of Marvel's Generation X, where he remained until 2000 (#38-60).
In 2000, Dodson left Marvel for DC Comics where he pencilled a Harley Quinn ongoing series written by Karl Kesel. He left the title a year later.
Back at Marvel in 2002, Dodson began drawing Spider-Man and the Black Cat: The Evil that Men Do, a limited series which was not completed until 2006 due to delays from writer Kevin Smith.[citation needed]
In 2003. Dodson and writer Mark Millar produced a controversial limited series titled Trouble, which was published through Marvel's Epic Comics imprint. The series which was supposedly aimed at a teenage girl audience, featured suggestive photo covers of girls in bikinis and seemed to reveal details about Peter Parker (Spider-Man)'s true parentage.
In 2004, Dodson and Millar reteamed to launch a new ongoing Spider-Man series, Marvel Knights Spider-Man. They left after a 12-issue arc.
Dodson provided covers and interior art for DC Comics' 2006 relaunch of Wonder Woman. He has also completed the first volume of Songes: Coraline, a comic strip which is edited and published in France and Spain.
Dodson is currently serving as the artist for Uncanny X-Men, a position he shares with artist Greg Land. Dodson and Land will be changing places on the title's regular art duties with Land drawing the first arc and Dodson doing the next one and so on. This is on purpose so Dodson has the time to keep working on another Songes: Coraline volume, as his contract allows him to publish on Europe. His first official stint as regular Uncanny X-Men artist will begin with issue #504. His next arc begins in issue #512 with the beginning of the Dark X-Men storyline.
