Jim Lee is one of the most revered and respected artists in American comics, and he's the topic of our latest Artist Spotlight series. We talked about how his work has personally impacted our comic journey (00:09:18), the promise he made to his parents before starting his career (00:19:04), setting a world record at Marvel, and then leaving at the height of his popularity to create his own studio (00:34:35), his meteoric rise at DC comics with Batman Hush (00:55:53), and how he raised almost a $1M for charity with his sketches alone (01:14:24)
