From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joe Staton (born January 19, 1948 in North Carolina), is an American illustrator and writer of comic books.

Staton grew up in Tennessee, attending Milan High School there and Murray State University in Kentucky, graduating from the latter in 1970. After DC Comics published some of his letters in their titles, Staton began to connect with science fiction fandom and began to expand upon the amateur comics art he practiced as a child. He started his work with Charlton Comics in 1971 and gained notability as the artist of the super-hero book E-Man. Staton produced art for various comics published by Charlton, Marvel and Warren during the 1970s. After being hired by Roy Thomas to work for Marvel, Paul Levitz brought him to DC Comics to work on their revival of the Justice Society of America in All Star Comics and later Adventure Comics. Staton illustrated stories chronicling the origin of the JSA and the death of the Earth-2 Batman among others. Staton also illustrate the solo adventures of two female JSA members created during the JSA revival; he drew Power Girl in Showcase and the Huntress. During that time, Staton also worked on Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes, the 1970s revival of the Doom Patrol in Showcase, and the 1970s run of Metal Men. In 1979, Staton began a two and a half year run on Green Lantern.

Staton served as art director for First Comics for three years in the 1980s, returning to DC Comics afterwards for a second run on Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps. He also illustrated Guy Gardner, the Millennium mini-series, The Huntress and The New Guardians. He currently draws DC's Scooby Doo title for younger readers.
