Liam Roger Sharp, born on 2 May 1968 in Britain, has built a career spanning nearly four decades as one of comics' more versatile figures — working across art, writing, inking, coloring, and publishing. He broke into the industry in 1988 and steadily developed a reputation for dense, intricately rendered linework that rewards close attention.

Sharp made an early mark on Marvel UK's Death's Head II, a title that showcased his flair for kinetic, heavily detailed figures. He later brought that same muscular visual approach to American superhero publishing, contributing to Gears of War adaptations and the long-running Testament series before landing some of his most high-profile assignments at DC Comics. His runs on Wonder Woman and, alongside writer Grant Morrison, The Green Lantern and its follow-up The Green Lantern Season Two, are among his most celebrated work — the latter pairing in particular drawing wide praise for its psychedelic, myth-inflected sensibility.

Beyond page-for-hire work, Sharp co-founded Madefire Inc., serving as its Chief Creative Officer and helping to develop digital motion comics as a storytelling format. With credits across 227 issues and activity continuing into 2026, his output reflects both consistent craftsmanship and a genuine curiosity about what the medium can do.
