Joyce Chin[edit]

Joyce Chin is a comic book penciler, inker, colorist, and cover artist.[1][2] She has created content under the Marvel, DC, Dynamite, Image Comics, Top Cow, Malibu, Chaos! Comics, Dark Horse Comics, Hero Initiative, Zenescope Entertainment, Black Bull, Wildstorm, Harris Comics, Topps Comics, and IDW Publishing labels. [1][2] A large portion of Chin's work has been in creating comic book covers.[1]

Career[edit]

Chin's early work with DC began with Guy Gardner Warrior. [3] She later progressed to work on a number of variant covers, mini-series, and special projects [3], including Xena: Warrior Princess, Vampirella, Tomb Raider, Red Sonja, and Wynonna Earp, among others.[1] Her collaborations include, among others, work alongside her husband Arthur Adams, comic writer Gail Simone, and frequent cover art projects with Ivan Nunes.[1] [3][4]

Style[edit]

Chin's work on Vampirella has been described as similar to that seen in Mucha paintings. [5] Her depictions of superheroes and warriors has been grounded in her belief that costumes need to match the attitude of the characters wearing them.[4]

Chin has worked on several variant covers featuring only her penciling (inked black or red). [1]

Awards[edit]

Chin received an Inkpot Award at Comic-Con International in 2017. [6]

I would like to take this conflict of visual objectification with textual or even visual agency and apply it to the similar representations of women by Joyce Chin.

“if the costume fits the personality of the superhero, it will work… when a character is shy or reserved, a revealing and impractical costume is not good storytelling because it’s not believable”
