Alan Quah

Alan Quah grew up in Malaysia, and his first published artwork appeared in a 1984 fanzine, where readers voted his inking the best in the book. It was an early sign of where he was headed.

After earning a degree in advertising in 1992 and spending years running a design shop, he came back to illustration in 2005 with the black-and-white series The Eldrich for California-based Comics Conspiracy. In 2006 he won Devil's Due's talent search.

He went on to found Komikaki Studio, a comic art and coloring company whose clients have included DC, Top Cow, Capstone, Webtoon and Titan Comics. His cover work now spans Batman, Wolverine, Star Wars, Godzilla, Transformers and TMNT.

Today he's a fixture of the store-exclusive market. With the trade dress stripped away, his detailed linework and cinematic compositions carry the whole cover, which is exactly why collectors chase his virgin editions.
