Biography

Lee Weeks was born on October 21, 1962 in Augusta, Maine, the son of a Windsor chair maker. He attended both the Portland School of Art (now Maine College of Art) and the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art. Weeks made his professional comics debut in the 1980s, penciling, inking, and lettering a short story ("Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk") in "Tales of Terror" #5, a horror anthology published by Eclipse Comics. He is best known for his work for Marvel Comics on "Daredevil" Vol. 1 series (1990 - 1992), where he pencilled the "Last Rites" storyline. It featured the fall of the Kingpin and is a sequel of sorts to Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's "Born Again."

Other titles he has contributed to include "Justice" (1988 - 1989), "The Destroyer" Vol.1 (1989 - 1990), "Gambit" Vol.1 (1993 - 1994), "Tarzan vs. Predator" (Dark Horse Comics), "Spider-Man: Death and Destiny" (2000), "Spider-Man: The Mysterio Manifesto" (2001), "Spider-Man's Tangled Web" (2002), "Captain America" Vol. 4 #17-20 (with writer Dave Gibbons) (Marvel Comics, 2003) and "The Incredible Hulk" Vol. 3 (2002, 2005). Most recently, Lee penciled the five-part "Captain Marvel (Marvel Comics)" (2007-2008) mini-series for Marvel Comics.

In a brief period with DC Comics, Lee penciled the 48 page bookshelf format book, "Batman Chronicles: Gauntlet" (1997), written by Bruce Canwell. He also worked as a storyboard artist for the Superman Animated Series. This is mentioned in the commentary of the dvd release of the "Apokolips Now: part 2" episode.

Lee is the subject of the seventeenth volume of the "Modern Masters" series published by TwoMorrows Publishing (2008).

Today, Lee lives in Pennsylvania with his wife and two daughters.
