Ethen Beavers is an American comic book artist from Modesto, CA. He graduated from Grants Pass High School in 1989.

Ethen's comic industry work includes sequentials on such titles as Justice League Unlimited, SIX, Noble Causes: Distant Relatives #4, as well as pin ups in Savage Dragon #112 and Hellhounds #3.

He has also done logo design as well as freelance illustration for various advertising agencies. Ethen is also a storyboard artist for Warner Bros. Justice League Unlimited animated show on Cartoon Network.

Mutation

In 2004, Ethen began working with writer George T. Singley on Mutation for Speakeasy Comics. Due to major complications with the now defunct Speakeasy Comics, neither writer nor artist received compensation for their work and the book was published months behind schedule. Several completed issues of the series never even saw the shelves of your local comics book store.

Luckily, Mutation was picked up by Markosia Enterprises and published (with the missing issues) in trade paperback format. The series is set to continue with new issues in the future.

"Beavers is indeed a student of Kirby and the Bruce Timm stable of artists. Beavers captures Kirby's frenetic motion and truly dynamic anatomy so that Mutation seems to hit bad guys, all imaginatively designed, save for the opening Kalibak-clone, off the pages. The women have that highly stylized hourglass figure so prevalent in Batman: the Animated Series, Superman and to a lesser extent Justice League. The blustery nature of the fights and the painfully hot female background players are in fact very sly clues to the surprise conclusion.
