Kevin Maguire (born September 9, 1960)[2] is an American comic book penciller, known for his work on series such as Justice League, Batman Confidential, Captain America and X-Men.

Career

Maguire's first credited published comics work included pages for The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe vol. 2 and Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe.[3] In 1987, Maguire was the artist on the relaunch of Justice League written by Keith Giffen and J. M. DeMatteis.[4] Maguire left the series with issue #24 (February 1989)[3] but returned for Giffen and DeMatteis' final story in #60 (March 1992).[5] The two writers and Maguire reunited in 2003 for the Formerly Known as the Justice League miniseries[6] and its 2005 sequel, "I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League" published in JLA Classified. Maguire's collaborations with Giffen and DeMatteis include Defenders and the Metal Men back-up stories in the 2009 revival of the Doom Patrol.

Maguire was one of the artists who launched the Team Titans series in 1992.[7] He has frequently collaborated with writer Fabian Nicieza on series such as Adventures of Captain America, X-Men, and Batman Confidential.[3]

Maguire and George Pérez alternated as artists of the revival of the Worlds' Finest series, which was written by Paul Levitz.[8] Maguire was to have reunited with Giffen and DeMatteis on the Justice League 3000 series[9] but was removed from the project by DC.[10]
