Joe started out as young artist working for Valiant Comics, moved on to DC and Marvel and then created his own character: Ash, under his publishing company Event.
One of the most unusual titles Joe worked on for DC Comics was The Ray.
In the series the son of the original Golden Age Ray discovers his inherited energy powers and reluctantly becomes a superhero.
By the time Joe drew The Ray his style had cemented itself and his confidence in laying out pages and composing stories was evident.
It contains some of the best work Joe produced at that time.
His distinctive style showcased his ability to convey the emotions of characters. His ability to give each character distinctive features is also evident.
His mastery of visual effects such as energy bursts, explosives and other dynamic effects is masterful, as is he talent for drawing both action and stationary scenes.
Occasionally Joe can be persuaded to draw comic book covers and a few interior pages but the majority of his time is used for promoting and creating projects for Marvel’s various projects such as film, TV, etc.
The Ray #1 can be bought for close to cover price.
