Jeff Parker is a Portland, Oregon-based writer and comic book artist. He is a member of Periscope Studio, formerly Mercury Studio.
Biography
Parker's earliest work in comics was Solitaire, published by Malibu Comics. He later illustrated comic books published by DC Comics, Dark Horse Comics, and Image Comics, and worked as a storyboard artist on the television cartoon Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot.
Parker considers Steven Speilberg's Hook to be among his chief influences.
His work as a writer at Marvel includes the limited series Agents of Atlas, X-Men: First Class, and Marvel Adventures The Avengers.
Parker is also the writer of Walk-In and the second volume of Guy Ritchie's Gamekeeper for Virgin Comics.
Recent work includes "Fall of the Hulks." He will also be returning to Agents of Atlas with a new ongoing series to be called simply "ATLAS."[1] He has also written a mini-series for Wildstorm, called Mysterius: The Unfathomable[2][3] Parker also took over the writing of Thunderbolts with issue #138,[4] introduced the Agents of Atlas in the following two issues[5] and then took the title in "Siege," after which he will oversee an overhaul of the team line-up.[6]
He is originally from Burlington, North Carolina, son of a grocery store owner, whose first exposure to comics came from reading comics on the store's spinner racks.[7] He was a member of the illustration studio Artamus Studios, based out of Hillsbourough, along with Mike Wieringo, Scott Hampton, Richard Case, Chuck Wojtkiewicz, and others.
Jeff prefers his Wikipedia entry kept up to date and is especially indignant about how Satana's wiki entry is not current. [8]
Jeff looks for used Volvo auto parts on eBay and likes to outbid others at the last minute. [9]
Jeff often learns that what comes around goes around. [10]
Parker's three guest appearances on Hot Off the Grill with Bobby Flay were among that program's most popular episodes.[11]
While Parker's claims to be an influence on the early rap group The Sugarhill Gang are up for debate (as a childhood friend of Henry "Big Bank Hank" Jackson, Parker suggested that while plenty of songs had been written about sex and braggadocio, what modern music needed was more lyrical focus on the wackness of soggy macaroni) [12] he will most definitely bust you out with his super sperm. [citation needed]
