Mike Dringenberg - Definition and Overview

Mike Dringenberg is a French/American comics artist best known for his work on DC/Vertigo's Sandman series with writer Neil Gaiman.

Dringenberg was initially the series's inker (over Sam Kieth's pencils) but switched to pencilling when Kieth left after five issues. He drew eleven issues, all but one inked by Malcolm Jones III, designed the popular character Death after a girl he knew in Salt Lake City, Utah, and his understated, realistic style did much to establish the tone of the series. His work appears in the Sandman collections Preludes and Nocturnes, The Doll's House and Season of Mists. He is also credited in every printing as being one of the creators, as he is responsible for the iconic representation of many characters.

He also worked on independent comics Adolescent Radioactive Blackbelt Hamsters (a parody of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which itself was a parody of many current comic books), Enchanter, Alien Worlds, Total Eclipse, and Kelvin Mace, DC's Doom Patrol with writer Grant Morrison (where he co-created Flex Mentallo), and the fantasy card game Magic: The Gathering.
