Bio:
Liam Roger Sharp (born May 2, 1968) is a British comic book artist, writer and publisher. He lives in Derby, UK, with his wife Christina, and three children, Matylda, Lorcan and Jeff, and their cat Molly.

Liam made his debut in the 1980s for the famous science-fiction magazine 2000 AD after a year's apprenticeship with the legendary Don Lawrence, artist on the seminal Dutch comic "Storm". His works included many Judge Dredd stories � most notably stories featuring P.J.Maybe, whom he created with Wagner and Grant, and who became one of Dredd�s most popular villains. The origin of Finn, the ABC Warriors and a Tharg's Future Shock were other contributions.

Liam's audience increased markedly when he moved to Marvel UK, for which he drew the best-selling Marvel UK title ever, the mini-series Death's Head II. Thereafter he began working mainly in the United States on books as diverse as the X-Men, the Hulk, Spider-Man, Venom, Man-Thing (for Marvel Comics), Superman, Batman, and The Possessed (for DC Comics and Wildstorm), Spawn: The Dark Ages (for Image) and Red Sonja (for Dynamite comics).

Sharp has also worked on more mature themed books for Verotik, drawing GOTH, Jaguar God and Frank Frazetta's The Death Dealer. He briefly worked on a strip originated by Stan Winston, Realm of the Claw. He wrote and drew a strip for Heavy Metal magazine, entitled "A-crazy-A" featuring Playboy model Tiffany Taylor as the title character. Likewise he wrote and drew a critically well-received short story for Vampirella magazine called "Winter Rose".

In 2004 Sharp set up his own publishing company, MamTor� Publishing (www.mamtor.com), with wife Christina McCormack, to publish the art-book "Sharpenings: the Art of Liam Sharp".
After the early success with this, Sharp saw a hole in the comic book market for alternative independent comics, and together with designer Tom Muller and friend/comic art collector John Bamber set out to expand the company to start publishing more work. This saw the launch of the critically acclaimed and award-winning titles "Event Horizon" 1 and 2, Matt Coyle's "Worry Doll", Sharp's "Lap of the Gods" and two novels, "St. Cyborgs" by Nick Wray, and "The Enemy's Son" by James Johnson.

Sharp recently worked on the controversial DC Vertigo title "Testament" with best-selling novelist and media commentator Douglas Rushkoff, and the Countdown tie-in mini-series "Lord Havok and the Extremists" with Frank Tieri.

As well as comic work, Sharp continues to paint in oils and acrylics, paintings that rang from abstract to landscapes to portraiture. He's a keen musician and song-writer, and has fronted several rock groups as well as producing more eclectic work under the guise of "Mamtor:Love": http://www.amazingtunes.com/users/mamtor/tunes

Sharp has also worked on several movies, including "Toy Soldiers" and "Lost in Space", as well as producing designs for the animated series "Batman Beyond".
