Tim Sale (1956) was born in Ithica (New York) on may 1. He currently lives in Seattle with his two dogs, Hotspur and Shelby. Sale
started his penciling career with Thieves' World #1 in 1985, but his first pro work was in Warp Graphics' Myth Adventures as an
inker.
He's done stints on DC's Challengers of the Unknown, Wildstorm's Deathblow and Matt Wagner's Grendel for Comico.
Sale is probably best known for his collaborations with writer Jeph Loeb on the three highly acclaimed Legends of the Dark Knight
Halloween Specials: Choices (1993), Ghosts (1994) and Madness (1995). These specials were so succesfull
that they led to the thirteen-issue Batman: The Long Halloween maxi-series (1996/1997), which led to the thirteen-issue
Batman: Dark Victory maxi-series (1999/2000).
In 1998 Sale did the four-issue Superman: For All Seasons mini-series with writer Jeph Loeb. In 2001 they collaborated on the
six-issue Daredevil: Yellow mini-series, which was the first of the "color" mini-series they did for Marvel. The others are:
Spider-Man: Blue (2002) and Hulk: Gray (2003)
He's currently penciling Catwoman: When in Rome for DC Comics, again with his favorite collaborator, Jeph Loeb.
