Jamie McKelvie is a British cartoonist and illustrator, known for his work on books such as Long Hot Summer, Phonogram, and Young Avengers.

Career

Since 2003, McKelvie has collaborated with journalist Kieron Gillen on a comic strip for the official PlayStation Magazine UK, entitled Save Point. He has worked on a number of projects for Image Comics, including Phonogram. His next major work was with colorist Guy Major and Matthew Wilson on his creator-owned series Suburban Glamour.

He has done various work for Marvel Comics, including a run on Defenders with Matt Fraction, and the X-Men: Season One graphic novel with Dennis Hopeless. He has collaborated with Gillen on a relaunch of Young Avengers for Marvel.[1] Currently he and Gillen are working on a third volume of Phonogram, and on a new series called The Wicked + The Divine.[2][3]

McKelvie's artwork also graces the covers of the Art Brut album Brilliant! Tragic! and the single "Lost Weekend",[4][5][6] and of two novels by writer Mur Lafferty.[7]

Character Design

Jamie has redesigned a number of characters' costumes. This includes the 2012 redesign of long-time character Carol Danvers, for a relaunch of the character as the new Captain Marvel.[8] Subsequently, in late 2013, the design for Kamala Khan's outfit when she becomes Ms Marvel was unveiled.[9] He has also made available his personal takes on Wonder Woman[10] and Iron Man.[11]

Of character design, he has said eschewed the word practical when describing his Marvel designs, stating that he considers the "message a [..] character's design is putting across",[12] and specifically for Ms Marvel, the design reflects "the Captain Marvel legacy, and also her story and her background".[13]
