Andrew Wildman

Who is Andrew Wildman?

Andrew Wildman is a British artist, best known for his work in comics, mainly for Marvel Comics. Wildman cut his teeth on Marvel UK's titles in the late 1980s, including Galaxy Rangers, Thundercats, The Real Ghostbusters and, perhaps most notably, Transformers. His first strip work on Transformers came in #198 for the story Cold Comfort and Joy. He would rapidly ascend to being one of the key members of the title's art team, often working with inker Stephen Baskerville.

Wildman and Baskerville followed writer Simon Furman to the American Transformers title soon afterwards, providing the art for issues #69-74 and #76-80. His artwork, which often applied human characteristics to the robotic protagonists, was divisive amongst some fans but generally lauded for capturing the emotion of Furman's scripts. After the title was cancelled with #80, he continued to work for Marvel on various series, becoming the regular artist on X-Men Adventures and G.I. Joe. He briefly provided art for Transformers: Generation 2, drawing three pages of Transformers: Generation 2 #2 as a favour to Furman and editor Rob Tokar when the original artist, Derek Yaniger, fell behind. Further work for Marvel US included Spider-Man: The Arachnis Project, Venom: Carnage Unleashed and a four issue Black Cat series. His final work for Marvel at the time was as the regular artist for Spider-Man 2099 from #33 to 43.
