Gordon Purcell

Gordon Purcell (born ) is a comic book artist best known for his work on various Star Trek comic book stories. After a long layoff of Star Trek work, IDW Publishing tapped his pencil and ink skills to illustrate two issues of their Star Trek: Year Four series. Success with this work has led to his work on an upcoming series with D.C. Fontana, expected to be released in 2008.

Beside his Star Trek work, he has worked on a number of other licensed comics including Young Indiana Jones, The X-Files, and Xena. His work on such licenses has not precluded his work as both penciler and inker on a variety of classic super-hero books, including Robin, Superman, and Flash. He has also worked on role playing games, providing artwork for such games as Gammarauders.

In addition to his comic book and game art, he has illustrated a youth Starfleet Academy novel.
