I started off doing indie comics that I wrote and drew myself. I was doing those for ten years before I started to work for DC. The first book that I wrote for DC was for another artist. I did some backups in 'Adventure Comics' years ago starring The Atom. That's the first time that I ever wrote for another artist. Jeff Lemire adventureagoartist share on social

I've always enjoyed teen characters, and kids as well. For whatever reason, I seem to have an ability to do it sort of well, and I enjoy doing it. Jeff Lemire abilitycharacterenjoy Change image and share on social

In general, I feel so much of pop culture is set in the generic big city, particularly comics. I feel like there are so many other stories to tell. Jeff Lemire bigcitycomic Change image and share on social
