[3]

Early life

Chuck Austen was born Chuck Beckum. [1] He grew up a military brat, [4] and after his parents divorced, he was raised by his single mother in a housing project. [5] At the start of his career Austen used his birthname; he later abandoned out of a desire to disassociate from his father's family name. [1] After marrying he and his wife picked a new name, inspired by Jane Austen. [6]

Career

Austen began his career as an artist in the 1980s. Due to not knowing many comics fans he developed a habit of inking his own pencils. [6] After working on Eclipse Comics titles such as Twisted Tales and Alien Worlds , his work came to the attention of Alan Moore, who selected him to take over from Alan Davis on Miracleman , recently added to the company's portfolio. He met Moore for the first time at the 1985 San Diego Comic Con, where he was also announced as the new artist on the title. As the series initially reprinted material from the British anthology Warrior he worked on the main strip until Miracleman #6, cover dated February 1986. Austen's run on the title was short-lived - after contributing a framing sequence to Miracleman #8 he left, something he blamed on Eclipse editor-in-chief Catherine Yronwode making an angry telephone call to his grandmother. [6]

Subsequently he drew the first five issues for the short-lived series Hero Sandwich for Slave Labor Graphics, as well as stints on The Badger for First Comics and two issues of Scott McCloud's Zot! , covering for the artist's honeymoon. [6] Austen also wrote and drew the semi-autobiographical black-and-white pornographic comic book series Strips for Rip Off Press and the similarly-themed Hardball for Malibu Comics' Aircel Comics label. He also provided art to lesser-known series such as Open Season and The Trouble with Girls as well as a few DC Comics properties including a Phantom Lady serial for Action Comics Weekly and a short Green Flame story for Secret Origins . Before taking a break from comics, Austen also drew an issue of Disney's The Little Mermaid limited series, due to the high page rates Disney offered and the chance to work with Peter David. [6] [1] He subsequently took a hiatus from the comics industry, instead working on the television show King of the Hill . [6]

Austen returned to comics in 2001, feeling burnt out after finding little success in the film and television industry. He began looking at comics again and sent samples of his art to Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Joe Quesada, who was impressed enough to offer Austen the chance to illustrate the new Marvel Knights Elektra series, written by Brian Michael Bendis. [6] He would remain as the title's artist until Elektra #8. Soon after being commissioned he also began writing and illustrating the weekly maxi-series U.S. War Machine for then-recently launched Marvel MAX imprint. [4] The series drew controversy not only for its violent content, but also because it debuted the day after the September 11, 2001 attacks. In 2003, Austen followed up with U.S. War Machine 2.0, which was published the day after U.S. President George W. Bush's March 17, 2003 ultimatum to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to leave Iraq, [7] prompting Austen to jokingly comment, "I feel like I should stop doing this book so the world will stay at peace." [8] Using the creative liberties provided due to the fact that series was set outside the mainline Marvel Universe, Austen wrote Rhodes' boss Tony Stark as more pacifist and business-minded than his mainstream counterpart, and Rhodes himself as the proactive protector. [4] Also in 2003, Austen launched another series for Marvel MAX, the six-issue The Eternal with artist Kev Walker, a reimagining of Jack Kirby's Eternals . [8]

In 2002, Austen took over Uncanny X-Men with issue #410 [9] and remained on the title until #443. The two-year run was the most lengthy writing assignment in Austen's mainstream career, [1] although it was not well received by the fans of the franchise. [10] [11] [12] His controversial [13] [14] run saw the return of Havok [15] and Polaris [16] to the X-Men, the introduction of Havok's love interest Annie Ghazikhanian, [17] and the addition of several existing characters to the X-Men team, including Northstar, [18] Juggernaut, [19] M, [20] and Husk. [21] The most controversial storyline revealed the identity of Nightcrawler's father: an immortal mutant known as Azazel. [22] [12] [11] Austen moved to New X-Men as part of the X-Men Reload initiative, and wrote the series for nine issues. [23] [24] During this run, he showcased the beginning of the relationship between Cyclops and Emma Frost following the death of Jean Grey [25] and introduced new versions of the character Xorn [26] and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. [27] Michael Aronson of Silver Bullet Comics, while praising Austen's characterization of Professor X and Annie Ghazikhanian, excoriated Austen for what Aronson saw as his obsession with relationships and sex, and the sexist nature of his characterization of Husk. [28] According to Thor K. Jensen of UGO Entertainment, fans disliked the romantic pairing of Angel and Husk; Jensen cites that storyline as emblematic of critical reception to Austen's run on X-Men. [29]

In 2003, Austen wrote a brief run on Captain America , finishing the storylines that were started by the outgoing writer John Ney Rieber. [30] In 2004, Austen took over The Avengers , introducing a new, female Captain Britain (since renamed Lionheart), a single mother thrust into the realm of super-heroes after being killed as an innocent bystander during a fight between the Avengers and the Wrecking Crew, only to be resurrected by the original Captain Britain. [31] The second arc, which saw Austen writing former Avengers U.S. Agent and Namor the Sub-Mariner attempting to liberate a Middle Eastern country from its corrupt leadership, served as launching pad for the short-lived New Invaders series. [32] [33] [34] Non-superhero Marvel work of the time includes The Call of Duty , a project consisting of several mini-series conceived in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks that were written primarily by Austen (with one series written by Bruce Jones) and featured firefighters and emergency service workers dealing with paranormal phenomena in the Marvel Universe, [35] [36] as well as Eden's Trail with artist Steve Uy, a series in "Marvelscope" (landscape) format created to capitalize on the burgeoning manga market which resulted in controversy when Uy publicly disowned the project, calling it a "bad dream". [37]

Also in 2003, Austen returned to DC Comics with the limited series Superman: Metropolis which followed the life of Jimmy Olsen and other citizens of the eponymous fictional city. [38] After the series concluded with issue #12, Austen took over the writing duties of the ongoing series Action Comics . Fans criticized Austen for resurrecting the long-forgotten Silver Age feud between Lois Lane and Lana Lang over the love of Superman, with Lana in particular divorcing her longtime husband Pete Ross in the process. [5] Austen left the title after ten issues, [39] and the following two issues were scripted by a writer named "J.D. Finn". While readers suspected Finn to be Austen, he speculated that Finn was actually then–Action Comics editor Eddie Berganza and denied using the pseudonym. [5] [11]

In 2004, Austen began self-publishing WorldWatch , a superhero series which he described as similar to Warren Ellis's The Authority with more explicit depictions of sex, violence and realpolitik. [40] The last page of Worldwatch #2 featured an announcement from the publisher stating that Austen had been fired, and that he would be replaced by a writer named Sam Clemens (which is the real name of American writer Mark Twain). In a subsequent interview, Austen revealed that this was intended as a joke (since he himself was the publisher and thus could not be fired from the book) and expressed disappointment in the fact that most readers had not understood it. [5]

In 2006, Austen wrote Boys of Summer , an English language adult-themed manga illustrated by Hiroki Otsuka and published by TokyoPop. [2] Copies of the first volume were pulled from a number of bookstores in May that year due to its graphic content. [39] Publishers Weekly named Boys of Summer one of the Top Ten manga/manhwa of 2006, calling it both "a titillating and edgy reading experience." [41] Subsequent news reports indicated that the series had been cancelled even though the other two volumes were completed and both creators had been paid for the work. [39]

Austen spent most of the 2010s working in various capacities in animation on such shows as The Cleveland Show , Steven Universe , Dawn of the Croods and The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle . Most recently, he served as the co-showrunner on She-Ra and the Princesses of Power . [3]

In 2007, Austen released his first prose novel, Like Warm Sun on Nekkid Bottoms . [42] In 2011, writing as Charles Olen Austen, he released the three-book series Pride and Nakedness , followed by Something Old, Something New in 2013. [43]

In 2020, Austen returned to comics with Edgeworld , a five-part series with artist Pat Oliffe, published digitally via Comixology. [44]

Reception

During his stint at the Big Two, Austen used the expression "Seven Deadly Trolls". In Austen's point of view, there was a small group of people, not representative of the wider comics readership, that used internet message boards, blogs and newsgroups to attack him on a professional and personal level. [45] Austen has stated that he received death threats from fans and had certain comic book store owners refuse to stock any comics written by him. [5] He also admitted to taking online criticism of his work personally, and made a decision to stop doing interviews in August 2003. [46] In a 2004 interview, Austen explained that decision as a result of a "bad day". [45]

Influences

Austen has expressed admiration towards such comic book creators as Brian Michael Bendis, Paul Jenkins, Bill Sienkiewicz, J. Michael Straczynski, Ron Garney, Bret Blevins, J. H. Williams III, Al Williamson, John Romita, Sr., Rumiko Takahashi, Katsuhiro Otomo and Mitsuru Adachi. [4]

Techniques

Austen creates his art digitally, using mostly Macs and sometimes PCs. He utilizes a variety of programs including Ray Dream Studio and 3D Studio Max to compose scenes which he then finishes in Photoshop. [4]

Personal life

Austen is divorced. [6] He has two daughters [4] and a son. [3]

He identifies himself as humanitarian and anti-racist. [5] In Austen's view, the Republican Party discriminates against women, and he especially disliked the Bush administration. [4]
