Brian Garvey (b. September 19, 1961) is a comic book artist, known primarily for inking. Along with his inking partner, Ian Akin, Garvey worked on many superhero comics (mostly for Marvel Comics) from 1982–1988.

Biography

Garvey's first professional job was on "ROM Spaceknight" #34 (Sept. 1982), inking with Akin over Sal Buscema's pencils. Akin & Garvey became the regular "ROM" inkers for almost two years, until 1984. During that time, they also provided the inks for the 1982 Marvel mini-series "Vision and the Scarlet Witch". Also in 1984, the pair inked the four-issue mini-series "Starriors" for Marvel. Moving over to DC Comics in 1985, the inking team worked on "Firestorm" for five consecutive issues. Back at Marvel, Akin & Garvey inked issues #190–209 of "Iron Man", and then worked on "The Transformers" for two years, until 1988. For the next three years, Akin & Garvey worked sporadically, for clients ranging from Marvel to DC to Continuity Comics. The inking duo disbanded in 1990 to pursue separate projects.Fact|date=September 2008

As a solo freelancer, Garvey worked steadily through the 1990s, for DC, Marvel, and Dark Horse Comics; most notably as the inker on the entire run of DC's "Gunfire" from 1994–1995, and inker for DC's "The New Gods" in 1995–1996. Since the 1990s, Garvey has no significant published credits.
