Biography
Lyle first came to prominence as penciler on DC Comics' Starman with writer Roger Stern.[2][3] The creative team introduced the second Blockbuster in Starman #9 (April 1989).[4]
Lyle worked on the first Robin limited series with writer Chuck Dixon. The series had many reprintings of the first few issues as well as two sequel miniseries — Robin II: Joker's Wild and Robin III: Cry of the Huntress — by the same creative team.[5] Dixon and Lyle co-created the Electrocutioner in Detective Comics #644 (May 1992)[6] and Stephanie Brown in Detective Comics #647 (August 1992).[7]
Lyle's next project was The Comet for DC Comics' Impact Comics imprint, which he pencilled and plotted with writer Mark Waid contributing the scripts.[3]
At Marvel Comics, Lyle co-created the character Annex in The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #27 with writer Jack C. Harris.[8] As penciler of Spider-Man, Lyle was one of the artists on the "Maximum Carnage"[9] and "Clone Saga"[10] storylines which ran through the Spider-Man titles. Lyle's other work for Marvel included The Punisher vol. 3 with writer John Ostrander and Warlock which he wrote himself.[3]
He is also the artist on the comic Chickasaw Adventures.[11]
Since 2005, he has taught sequential art at the Savannah College of Art and Design.[12]
