Jamie McKelvie is a British cartoonist and illustrator, known for his both work on books such as Phonogram , Young Avengers and The Wicked + The Divine , and his approach to comic character design.
Since 2003, McKelvie has collaborated with Kieron Gillen on a number of works. This started with a comic strip for PlayStation Official Magazine – UK , entitled Save Point, which ran for at least three years. [1] The Guardian highlighted that Gillen and McKelvie "met in 2003 at a convention where Gillen was selling his first photocopied comics". [2] Their first comic book together was Phonogram , a six-issue series in 2006, which was followed by two sequel series in 2008 and 2015 with Matt Wilson. [3] [4] The three worked together on a relaunch of Young Avengers for Marvel in 2013, [5] and created the 45-issue series The Wicked + The Divine between 2014 and 2019. [6] In 2021, GamesRadar+ highlighted that the duo has "worked together on-and-off for the past 17 years" and that their Batman short story Batman: Black and White #5 was their "first major project together since the conclusion of The Wicked + The Divine in 2019". [7]
His first creator-owned series as both writer and artist, Suburban Glamour, was published in 2008, with Guy Major and Matthew Wilson as colourists. He has done various work for Marvel Comics, including a run on Defenders with Matt Fraction, and the X-Men: Season One graphic novel with Dennis Hopeless.

[11] He has illustrated prints and tour posters for the band Chvrches and his art was animated in their music video for the new version of "Bury It" (2016) featuring Hayley Williams. [12] [13]
McKelvie has redesigned a number of characters' costumes, including the 2012 redesign of long-time character Carol Danvers, for a relaunch of the character as the new Captain Marvel, [14] and in late 2013, the design for Kamala Khan's outfit when she becomes Ms Marvel. [15] In 2016, he designed the costumes for the time-displaced original five X-Men seen in X-Men: Blue (2017). [16] In 2023, he redesigned Kamala's costume after she joined the X-Men. [17] [18] He has also made available his personal takes on Wonder Woman, [19] Iron Man [20] and Cyclops. [21]
McKelvie has said that he emphasises practicality when creating his Marvel designs, stating that he considers the "message a [...] character's design is putting across", [22] and specifically for Ms. Marvel, the design reflects "the Captain Marvel legacy, and also her story and her background". [23] For the time-displaced X-Men, McKelvie commented that he "wanted to reference past incarnations of the characters, while at the same time coming up with something new and cohesive for the team".
