James O'Barr (born January 1, 1960) is an American comics artist, writer and graphic artist, best known as the creator of the comic book series The Crow . [1]
O'Barr, an orphan, was raised in the foster care system. [2]
At 18, O'Barr enlisted in the Marines. While stationed in West Germany, he illustrated combat manuals for the U.S. military.
Before he joined the Marines, O'Barr's fiancée, Beverly, had been killed by a drunk driver. Part of the reason O’Barr joined the military was the hope that service would help him cope with his grief. While living in West Berlin in 1981, O'Barr began to work on his comic, The Crow, as a means of dealing with his personal tragedy. [3] O'Barr was further inspired by a Detroit newspaper account of the murder of a young couple over a $20 engagement ring. [4] In The Crow, the protagonist, Eric, and his fiancée, Shelly, are murdered by a gang of criminals. Eric then returns from the dead, guided by a supernatural crow, to hunt their killers.
After his discharge from the Marines, O'Barr returned to Detroit, where he continued to paint and illustrate while working a day job at an auto body shop. [5] The Crow was eventually published in association with Gary Reed of Caliber Press. The first miniseries was published in 1989. The Crow has since sold more than 750,000 copies worldwide. [6]
O'Barr's own hope that his project would result in a personal catharsis went unfulfilled. During an interview in 1994, he said, "[A]s I drew each page, it made me more self-destructive, if anything... There is pure anger on each page". [7]
In the 1990s O'Barr was affiliated with the experimental metal band Trust Obey, which was signed briefly to Trent Reznor's Nothing label.[ citation needed ] Trust Obey released the album Fear and Bullets: Music to Accompany The Crow in 1993. The album was packaged with a special edition of The Crow graphic novel.
The Crow was adapted into a successful film of the same name in 1994, which was marred by the tragic death of its star, Brandon Lee, during filming. [8] The film went on to spawn three sequels and a television series.
After the success of The Crow film, O'Barr began planning an apocalyptic graphic novel series entitled Gothik. The series was based on The Wizard of Oz and featured "Jonny Z" from his short story "Frame 137" as the main character. [9]
In January 2013 Motionworks Entertainment released O'Barr's western comic, Sundown, which served as their debut motion comic [10] for iPhone and iPad. [11] He also announced his work on a comic about the Korean War, centered on the efforts of three U.S. Marine guncrews to hold Fox Hill during the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, with a different artist drawing each gun crew. [12]
In 2013, O'Barr was named as a consultant on a possible reboot of The Crow film franchise. [13] Although previously opposed to the project, in an October 2014 interview, speaking of his involvement, O'Barr discussed the approach to the adaptation and efforts being made to respect the original film. [12] Later, in November 2014, O'Barr appeared at the Wizard World Tulsa Comic Con and stated that he was co-writing the script with screenwriter Cliff Dorfman. [14] After a long period in development hell, a reboot film would be released in 2024 starring Bill Skarsgård, though O'Barr is only credited in reference to the original comic. [15]

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (LoEG) is a multi-genre, cross-over comic book series co-created by writer Alan Moore and artist Kevin O'Neill which began in 1999. The comic book spans four volumes, an original graphic novel, and a spin-off trilogy of graphic novellas.
