Encyclopedia
Humberto Ramos is a Mexican
comic book
penciller
, best known for his work on American comic book
s such as Impulse
, The Spectacular Spider-Man
, The Amazing Spider-Man
and his creator-owned series Crimson.
and his son, Oscar González Loyo
. The pair later invited him to comic book conventions in the United States
.
Ramos was discovered in 1993 at the San Diego Comic-Con
, the comic book industry's largest annual convention, where comic legend Walt Simonson
brought him to the attention of the founders of Milestone Media
, where he did his first work in American comics in 1994, before being hired by DC Comics
as the regular penciller for their new Flash
spin-off Impulse
, which launched in March 1995. Written by Mark Waid
, the superhero/teen comedy series focused on young speedster Bart Allen
, the grandson of the second Flash, Barry Allen, and his struggles with growing up in an alienated Alabama suburb.
In 1998, Ramos co-founded the imprint Cliffhanger
with comic book artists Joe Madureira and J. Scott Campbell
. They created the imprint, housed by Jim Lee
's Image Comics
division Wildstorm
, to publish their creator-owned comic books outside the mainstream superhero genre. Both Campbell and Madureira had already built large fanbases with their previous work on Gen¹³
and Uncanny X-Men
respectively, and were two of the most popular comic book artists at the time. Ramos, on the other hand, was not as popular and his inclusion on the imprint was perceived as second choice, after fan-favorite Michael Turner
declined because he was still under contract at Top Cow. The title ran for 24 issues and two one-shots. It was followed by Ramos' second Cliffhanger title, the fantasy
/mystery
series Out There, months later. Ramos also began illustrating the covers of Peter Parker: Spider-Man
with issue #30 and—beginning with May 2002's Peter Parker: Spider-Man #44—additionally did the interior artwork on the four-issue story arc "A Death in the Family" (later collected as Spider-Man: Return of the Goblin; ISBN 0-7851-1019-4), written by Paul Jenkins
.
After his Cliffhanger contract expired, and Out There concluded after 18 issues in early 2003, Ramos left the imprint, apparently not on the best terms, and launched a new Spider-Man title, The Spectacular Spider-Man
. The book reunited Ramos with Peter Parker: Spider-Man writer Paul Jenkins and earned him a 2005 Harvey Award
nomination as Best Cover Artist. While Ramos worked on Spectacular Spider-Man, another book created by him (although illustrated by Francisco Herrera
), the six-issue miniseries Kamikaze
, which had originally been planned for 2001, was published by WildStorm under the Cliffhanger imprint.
In 2005, Ramos' creator-owned six-issue miniseries Revelations began publication at Dark Horse Comics
. The series, once again written by Jenkins, was originally supposed to be published by Cliffhanger in 2001, but delayed for unknown reasons.
Following Revelations, Ramos returned to Marvel Comics, joining writer Marc Guggenheim
as the new creative team on Wolverine
, beginning with issue #42 in March 2006.
The same month also saw the release of the first volume of the space opera
K, a series of three 46-page comic albums Ramos is illustrating for French comic publisher Soleil Productions
, written by the popular French comic book creator Crisse
.
Ramos worked with writer Terry Moore
on Runaways
from 2008-2009 and became one of the regular artists on The Amazing Spider-Man
in 2010.
