Cover Artist

Katie Cook

Katie Cook is an artist and writer best known for her webcomic, Gronk, and her Star Wars artwork.  She has worked at Marvel, DC, IDW Publishing, and Boom! Studios.  Her earliest Star Wars comic work is on the Clone Wars webcomics that were posted in 2008 and 2009 and are collected in the Star Wars: Tales From the Clone Wars - Webcomic Collection Season 1 published by Dreams and Visions Press in collaboration with Dark Horse Comics.  The other artists who contributed to these webcomics are Thomas Hodges, Grant Gould, and Jeff Carlisle, but the stories Katie Cook drew are more lighthearted to match her style.  More recently, she was commissioned to provide the artwork for the Mile High Comics exclusive covers for the Vader Down event.

These covers feature her artwork which is best described as adorable and cute.  Much of this art looks very similar to Skottie Young's baby variant covers and I will put together a posting in the near future comparing and contrasting their styles.  The Vader Down #1 is limited to 5000 copies while the remaining issues are limited to 4000 copies each.
