Butch Guice

Jackson "Butch" Guice was born on June 27, 1961, and passed away on May 1, 2025, leaving behind a body of work that spanned more than four decades in American comics. He came up through the industry in the early 1980s, establishing himself at Marvel Comics with assignments on titles including Micronauts, Swords of the Swashbucklers, X-Factor, The New Mutants, and Iron Man. His clean yet dynamic draftsmanship made him a natural fit for action-driven storytelling, and he built a reputation as a reliable and expressive penciler across both major publishers.

At DC Comics, Guice contributed to the landmark "Death of Superman" storyline and co-created the character Resurrection Man alongside writers Andy Lanning and Dan Abnett — a title he would return to and that stands among his most personally identified work. His catalog of over 316 credited issues also includes substantial runs on Captain America, Winter Soldier, Birds of Prey, Invaders, and the CrossGen series Ruse, demonstrating a versatility that kept him working steadily across publishers and genres. Throughout his career he took on roles as penciler, inker, and colorist, giving him an unusually comprehensive command of the visual storytelling process. His collaborations and co-creations remain a durable part of mainstream comics history.
