Richard Case (born 1964)[1] is an American comics artist best known for his work for DC Comics especially the Vertigo imprint.

He is not to be confused with the similarly-named Richard Case, a comics artist who worked for the Iger Studio and Fiction House in the 1940s.[2]

Career

After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Rhode Island School of Design, Richard Case worked as an assistant to comics artist Walt Simonson in 1985.[3] Case's first credited published comic book story appeared in Marvel Comics' Strange Tales vol. 2 #10 (Jan. 1988).[4] He moved to DC Comics and pencilled the majority of issues of Grant Morrison's run on Doom Patrol[5] beginning with issue #19 (Feb. 1989).[6] In 1992, he drew several issues of Darkhold: Pages from the Book of Sins for Marvel. Back at DC, Case inked Marc Hempel's pencils on the Sandman story "The Kindly Ones" and penciled a few pages in Hempel's style.[7][8] He illustrated Jamie Delano's Ghostdancing limited series, the final story arc of Peter Milligan's Shade, the Changing Man, and Hunter: The Age of Magic with Dylan Horrocks.[4] Since leaving the comics industry, he has worked extensively in computer game illustration especially for Ubisoft.[9]
