Biography[edit]
Growing up in the Bronx,[1] Martinbrough's early influences included Alex Toth, Frank Miller, and David Mazzucchelli.[2]
Martinbrough graduated from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School in 1989.[3] He then attended the School of Visual Arts.[4] Martinbrough got his first professional work — a painted illustration for Marvel Comics — while still a student at SVA.[2]
Early in his career, Martinbrough worked for minority-led publishing imprint Milestone Media, primarily as an inker. In 1993, he inked over John Paul Leon on early issues of the Milestone property Static. He followed that by inking virtually the entire run of DC/Milestone's Shadow Cabinet, again over Leon's pencils. Martinbrough and Leon teamed up again for DC's 1997 reboot of Challengers of the Unknown, with Martinbrough inking issues 1-9 (and inking covers through issue #17).
Martinbrough was given his first ongoing penciling duties starting with the DC Comics series The Creeper, in 1997–1998.
In 2000–2001, Martinbrough and writer Greg Rucka were the creative team of Detective Comics (starting with issue #742 [March 2000]).[5] During their run, they created the Sasha Bordeaux character in issue #751 (Dec. 2000),[6] as well as the villains Kyle Abbot and Able Crown. Rucka and Martinbrough's run was collected in Batman: New Gotham, Volumes 1 and 2.
Following his stint on Detective Comics, in 2002 Martinbrough signed on with Marvel Comics to illustrate writer Geoff Johns' four-issues limited seriesMorlocks.
In 2005, Martinbrough and writer Gary Phillips produced Angeltown, a five-issue limited series published by Vertigo Comics. The story is told in the blaxploitation idiom, with nods to the detective stories of Chester Himes and Walter Mosley.[7] In 2011, the series was reprinted by Moonstone Books as Angeltown: The Nate Hollis Investigations.
