Happy Birthday Phil Jimenez!!!

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

Born and raised in Los Angeles and later Orange County, California, Phil Jimenez moved to New York City to attend college at the School of Visual Arts, where he now teaches a life drawing course as part of the undergraduate cartooning program. He began working at DC Comics when he was 21; his first published work was four pages in the DC miniseries War of the Gods (1991).
Jimenez came out as gay in 1992, and his first open relationship was with the man who hired him at DC that same year, Neal Pozner.

He is probably better known for his work as writer/artist on Wonder Woman (2000-2003), main penciller of the miniseries crossover event Infinite Crisis (2005-2006), and his collaborations with writer Grant Morrison on New X-Men and The Invisibles.

His realistic and richly detailed art style is heavily influenced by the work of artist George Prez, who worked on 80's series such as The New Teen Titans (also as co-plotter), Crisis on Infinite Earths and Wonder Woman (also as writer).
In fact, a large part of Phil Jimenez' work is also related to these three works by Perez: Jimenez has worked repeatedly in several Titans-related series (some issues of the ongoing series New Titans and Team Titans, and the miniseries JLA/Titans, The Return of Donna Troy and Tempest), was the main artist of Infinite Crisis, a sequel of Crisis on Infinite Earths and highly related to the historical limited series, and did a large run as writer & artist of Wonder Woman (as did Perez in the 80's).
Jimenez and Perez also have worked together in 2005-2006 in the miniseries Infinite Crisis (where Jimenez was the main penciller, and Perez drew some sequences and covers for the series) and DC Special: The Return of Donna Troy (written by Jimenez and inked by Perez).

Phil Jiminez was one of four artists to be working on Marvel's flagship title, The Amazing Spider-Man, the company's sole Spider-Man title, in which Marvel upped its frequency of publication to three issues monthly, and inaugurated the series with the "back to basics" story arc "Brand New Day" at the beginning of 2008.
His first work on Spider-Man was in the Free Comic Book Day 2007: Spider-Man #1 (June 2007) comic book, with writer Dan Slott, which served as a prelude to Brand New Day.
In 2009 Jimenez became the artist on Astonishing X-Men. In 2015 he illustrated Angela, Asgard's Assassin #1-6.

Whether it is his work on Wonder Woman or the X-Men,
Phil Jimenez remains a favorite artist of many comic book fans.
But what you can't see in his work is that Phil balances diabetes every day of his life.

How the X-Men Changed Artist Phil Jimenez’s Life https://www.marvel.com/articles/comi...jimenez-s-life

[Uncanny X-Man]

What an amazing writer/artist. Not sure what his day job is anymore but I'd love for Jimenez to start writing and drawing comics regularly again, especially an X-book.

Phil often declared his love for the X-Men especially for Storm.

I think this piece is a perfect testimony of his love for her.
