Ron Wimberly

Ronald Wimberly, born April 28, 1979, is an American cartoonist whose work spans graphic novels, editorial illustration, and commercial projects. He is best known for his graphic novel *Prince of Cats*, a synthwave-infused retelling of *Romeo and Juliet* set in 1980s Brooklyn, which showcases his bold, stylized linework and dynamic page layouts. Wimberly’s career began with shorter pieces for DC/Vertigo and Marvel, where he contributed to titles such as *She-Hulk* and *Prophet*, often handling art, colors, and inks. He collaborated with writer Charles Soule on *She-Hulk* and later adapted Ray Bradbury’s *Something Wicked This Way Comes* for Hill and Wang. A two-time resident cartoonist at Angoulême’s Maison des Auteurs and the 2016 Columbus Museum of Art comics resident, Wimberly has also created work for *The New Yorker* and Nike. He received the 2008 Glyph Comics Award and has been nominated for two Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards. His later projects include the creator-owned series *Saint George* and ongoing editorial work. Wimberly’s influence is felt in his fusion of hip-hop culture, manga-inspired storytelling, and experimental paneling, cementing his reputation as a distinctive voice in contemporary comics.
