Laura Martin

Laura Martin is a colorist who has produced work for several of the major comics companies, including DC, Marvel and CrossGen. Martin has worked in comics professionally since 1995, and served for five years as a "staff colorist and assistant supervisor," and "occasional designer" for Jim Lee's WildStorm Studios. In 1999, after the sale of WildStorm to DC, DePuy became sole colorist on Warren Ellis and John Cassaday's Planetary series, as well as Ellis and Bryan Hitch's Authority. Much of her work since then has involved coloring the artwork of both Cassaday and Hitch, who rarely work with other colorists. From November 2001's Ruse #1, Martin worked on a handful of non-CrossGen comics (occasional issues of Planetary) until summer 2004. In addition to Ruse, she also colored Edge as well as occasional issues of Meridian, Negation and Sojourn, before the companies ultimate collapse. Post-CrossGen, Martin worked primarily for Marvel Comics, among others working on Amazing Spider-Man, Astonishing X-Men, Star Wars, Thor, Uncanny Avengers, and Wolverine & the X-Men.
