DC Talent Across the Globe 🌍

General Discussion
1

Let’s get international! In this collection, I’ll be highlighting some comics by DC talent with backgrounds around the world. I tried to limit myself to a notable body of work from one writer and one artist per nationality by birth- or, one double threat writer/artist creator or nation-sharing team, where significant. Disagree with my selections? I’d love to hear your alternate nominations! Links where available on DC Universe Infinite.

Mauro Cascioli from Buenos Aires, Argentina was the cover artist for my favorite image of Green Arrow. I’m looking forward to reading Cry for Justice where he is the artist as well.

I believe John McCrea is from Northern Ireland, and he worked on Hitman and DC 1,000,000. To round out the United Kingdoms, I think Rob Williams of Rebirth Suicide Squad is Welsh, though I can’t find any confirmation of that except the Wikipedia.

This does raise the question of whether Alan Moore should be listed as English. Listing Moore as UK and Morrison as Scotland is a bit reminiscent of Is Andy Murray British?

But, by calling out the different members of the UK you can have more writers and artists. Who’s from Wales? Also, the Scottish are not too happy about their “subjugation” by the English. It only took the English 700 years to return the Stone of Scone. :rofl:

Yeah, I really had to make a choice between Hellblazer and Hitman, and I decided to go with Dangerous Habits because, well, it’s widely considered the best ever Constantine story.

I’ll put Rob Williams in for Wales, and change UK to England.

I actually mean McCrea is from Northern Ireland the UK member state, so that’s one you could add. Plus then you could get Hitman on the list.

Also, no English or Welsh flag emojis… c’mon Discourse :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Completely agree. I was just referencing the running joke that the English press referred to Murray as British when he won and Scottish when he lost.

I’m not counting Ireland twice. They should just get with the program and unite already :stuck_out_tongue:

Ooof. I’m not going to wade into those waters here, don’t want to bring The Troubles to the DC Universe. Which actually makes me curious, were the troubles ever dealt with in DC Comics?

They do have their own soccer team though.

Yeah, I suppose I could have phrased that more carefully. What I mean is that Northern Ireland is part of the UK while the rest isn’t, but they are still the same nation.

I believe The Troubles are touched upon in the Hitman arc “Who Dares, Wins,” issues #23-27.

I think America should’ve been either Hitman or All Star Section Eight (both series were made by Garth Ennis)
