Terrence "Terry" Dodson is an American comic book artist and penciller. He is best known for his work on titles such as "Harley Quinn", "Trouble" and "Marvel Knights Spider-Man". Dodson is known for his clean, soft style and for his buxom depictions of female characters.Fact|date=July 2007 His pencils are usually inked by his wife Rachel Dodson, who is a comic book inker and colorist.

Career

Dodson first came to prominence as the artist on Malibu Comics' Ultraverse title "Mantra" in 1993. He co-created the character with writer Mike W. Barr.

In early 1996, he drew a four issue "Storm" mini series (starring the X-Men character of the same name), which was written by Warren Ellis, inked by Karl Story and published by Marvel Comics.

Later that same year this creative team reunited for another X-Men-related limited series - the 3 issue "Pryde and Wisdom" title, starring Kitty Pryde and Pete Wisdom. In 1998, he became regular penciller of Marvel's "Generation X", where he remained until 2000 (#38-60).

In 2000, Dodson left Marvel for DC Comics where he pencilled a "Harley Quinn" ongoing series written by Karl Kesel. He left the title a year later.

Back at Marvel in 2002, Dodson began drawing "Spider-Man and the Black Cat: The Evil that Men Do", a limited series which was not completed until 2006 due to delays from writer Kevin Smith.Fact|date=July 2007

In 2003. Dodson and writer Mark Millar produced a controversial limited series titled "Trouble", which was published through Marvel's Epic Comics imprint. The series which was supposedly aimed at a teenage girl audience, featured suggestive photo covers of girls in bikinis and seemed to reveal details about Peter Parker (Spider-Man)'s true parentage.

In 2004, Dodson and Millar reteamed to launch a new ongoing "Spider-Man" series, "Marvel Knights Spider-Man". They left after a 12-issue arc.

Dodson provided covers and interior art for DC Comics' 2006 relaunch of "Wonder Woman". He has also completed "Songes", a comic strip which is edited and published in France.

Dodson is currently serving as the artist for "Uncanny X-Men", a position he shares with artist Greg Land. Dodson and Land will be changing places on the title's regular art duties with Land drawing the first arc and Dodson doing the next one and so on. His first official stint as regular artist will begin with issue #504.
