Gerald Joseph Bingham Jr.[1] (born June 25, 1953,[2] in Chicago, Illinois) is an American artist who has worked in the fields of comic books, commercial illustration, and design. He is known for his artwork on Marvel Team-Up and the DC Comics graphic novel Batman: Son of the Demon.
Biography[edit]
Given his first break by veteran comics artist Dan Adkins,[3] Bingham's first published comics work was a Green Arrow backup story in World's Finest Comics #251 (June–July 1978).[4] From there, Bingham drew comics for Marvel Comics, First Comics, TSR, Malibu Comics, Dark Horse Comics, Heavy Metal, and others. He drew the Batman: Son of the Demon graphic novel in 1987, which introduced a character later revealed to be Damian Wayne.[5] This graphic novel reputedly "restored DC Comics to first place in sales after fifteen years."[6]
Leaving comics in the late 1990s, Bingham moved to the West Coast, where he did production art for the movies, designing props, special effects and monster make-up. He contributed design work for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, shopping centers, Universal Studios, and the Hollywood Christmas Parade. In addition, Bingham has illustrated paperback, game, and magazine covers.
Education[edit]
Bingham attended the American Academy of Art, the Scottsdale Artists School, the California Art Institute, and UCLA.

Dan [Adkins] lived in New Jersey, so I went over and visited, and he let me stay on his couch for a couple of weeks and he set up a second drawing board. I sat at the board and he told me what I was doing wrong and helped me work up a whole new bunch of samples. At the end of the two weeks he took me into New York and introduced me to Archie Goodwin, who was editor-in-chief of Marvel at the time. Archie, possibly the best and nicest boss ever in comics, gave me my first job.
