Best known for his over expressive art style, and often hulking male bodies, he is one of the most well known artists in Comic Books today. Ed McGuinness has drawn just about every Comic Book Character at some time, but is best known for his work on books such as Superman, Superman/Batman, Deadpool, and Hulk. His pencil work is frequently inked by Dexter Vines, and as such, their cover work is known to carry the stylized signature "EdEx".
