Dave Simons (December 20, 1954 – June 9, 2009) was an American <a href="Comic_book" title="Comic book">comic book</a> artist known for his work on <a href="Conan_(comics)" title="Conan (comics)">Conan</a>, <a href="Ghost_Rider_(comic_book)" title="Ghost Rider (comic book)">Ghost Rider</a>, <a href="Red_Sonja" title="Red Sonja">Red Sonja</a>, and <a href="Spider-Man" title="Spider-Man">Spider-Man</a> for <a href="Marvel_Comics" title="Marvel Comics">Marvel Comics</a><a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> and <a href="Forgotten_Realms_(comics)" title="Forgotten Realms (comics)">Forgotten Realms</a> for <a href="DC_Comics" title="DC Comics">DC Comics</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Dave_Simons-4">[4]</a> He is also known for commercial storyboard and games artwork work on <a href="The_Secret_Files_of_the_Spy_Dogs" title="The Secret Files of the Spy Dogs">The Secret Files of the Spy Dogs</a> and <a href="Greyhawk_Ruins" title="Greyhawk Ruins">Greyhawk Ruins</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_life">Early life</h2></div>

Dave Simons stated that he had always wanted to be a <a href="Comic_book_artist" class="mw-redirect" title="Comic book artist">comic book artist</a>. "I always wanted to do comics since I was about eight years old ... so I started making a point of drawing something every day. I figured if I just kept doing that, then eventually I'd get better at it."<a href="#cite_note-Adelaide_Comics_And_Books-5">[5]</a>

After a stint in the <a href="United_States_Coast_Guard" title="United States Coast Guard">Coast Guard</a>, and a chance series of meetings with <a href="Frank_Robbins" title="Frank Robbins">Frank Robbins</a>, Simons elected to undertake formal training to be an artist. As part of his education Simons attended the art workshops run by <a href="Marvel_Comics" title="Marvel Comics">Marvel Comics</a> artist <a href="John_Buscema" title="John Buscema">John Buscema</a>. It was while attending these classes that he became friends with future comic book artists <a href="Ken_Landgraf" title="Ken Landgraf">Ken Landgraf</a> and Armando Gil.

It was through Landgraf that Simons produced his first published work, which consisted of mainly commercial illustrations and the occasional soft-core pornographic comic book.

Approaching then-<a href="Marvel_Comics" title="Marvel Comics">Marvel</a> editor <a href="Rick_Marschall" title="Rick Marschall">Rick Marschall</a> at a convention in the late 1970s, Simons was able to get his samples seen and assessed. At the time Marschall was overseeing the <a href="Curtis_Magazines" class="mw-redirect" title="Curtis Magazines">Curtis Magazines</a> line for Marvel, and Simons was duly assigned the duty of inking the first issue of the <a href="Howard_the_Duck" title="Howard the Duck">Howard the Duck</a> magazine.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> After submitting the story Simons was assigned a fill-in <a href="Falcon_(comics)" title="Falcon (comics)">Falcon</a> story, which he inked with the assistance of Armando Gil over <a href="Sal_Buscema" title="Sal Buscema">Sal Buscema</a>'s pencils. This marked his first professional work for Marvel and in mainstream comic books.

Simons was then assigned both pencilling and inking jobs for Marvel.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> One of the artists whose pencils he inked was <a href="Gene_Colan" title="Gene Colan">Gene Colan</a>. "Gene Colan was always my favorite penciler to work on ... [T]hat was like a match made in heaven because a lot of people didn't understand Gene's shading. I thought, 'this is great, this is a great jumping on point if you're gonna do black and white stuff'".<a href="#cite_note-Adelaide_Comics_And_Books-5">[5]</a> Colan spoke highly of Simons's talent. "Do you know how few artists have ever been able to ink my very complex and often inscrutable pencils? Do you know how exquisitely Dave Simon inks my pencils? ... I've yet to see anything Dave has done that I haven't loved! Artists and inkers have come and gone but Dave remains today still at the top of his form!"<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> Simons' attention to detail came into high demand in the 1980s and his inking credits include artists such as <a href="Keith_Pollard" title="Keith Pollard">Keith Pollard</a>, <a href="Ron_Wilson_(artist)" title="Ron Wilson (artist)">Ron Wilson</a>, <a href="Frank_Miller_(comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Frank Miller (comics)">Frank Miller</a>, John Buscema, <a href="Marc_Silvestri" title="Marc Silvestri">Marc Silvestri</a>, <a href="Greg_LaRocque" title="Greg LaRocque">Greg LaRocque</a>, <a href="John_Romita_Jr" class="mw-redirect" title="John Romita Jr">John Romita Jr</a> and <a href="Ed_Hannigan" title="Ed Hannigan">Ed Hannigan</a>. Titles that featured his inking include <a href="Thor_(comic_book)" title="Thor (comic book)">Thor</a>, <a href="Thing_(comics)" title="Thing (comics)">The Thing</a>, <a href="Marvel_Premiere" title="Marvel Premiere">Marvel Premiere</a>, <a href="Night_Thrasher" title="Night Thrasher">Night Thrasher</a>, <a href="Iron_Man_(comic_book)" title="Iron Man (comic book)">Iron Man</a>, King Conan, <a href="Doctor_Strange_(comic_book)" title="Doctor Strange (comic book)">Doctor Strange</a>, <a href="Star_Wars_(1977_comic_book)" title="Star Wars (1977 comic book)">Star Wars</a>, <a href="Star_Trek_(comics)" title="Star Trek (comics)">Star Trek</a>, <a href="Thundercats" class="mw-redirect" title="Thundercats">Thundercats</a> and others.

Simons's tenure at Marvel was not limited to inking.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> He proved himself to be a very capable penciler and his pencils and ink combination were featured in titles such as <a href="The_Spectacular_Spider-Man" title="The Spectacular Spider-Man">The Spectacular Spider-Man</a>, <a href="Thunderiders" title="Thunderiders">Team America</a>, <a href="What_If_(comics)" title="What If (comics)">What If</a>, <a href="Marvel_Comics_Presents" title="Marvel Comics Presents">Marvel Comics Presents</a>, <a href="Bizarre_Adventures" class="mw-redirect" title="Bizarre Adventures">Bizarre Adventures</a>, <a href="Red_Sonja" title="Red Sonja">Red Sonja</a>, <a href="Web_of_Spider-Man" title="Web of Spider-Man">Web of Spider-Man</a>, and <a href="King_Conan" title="King Conan">King Conan</a>.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> He also provided cover art to titles such as <a href="Power_Man_and_Iron_Fist" title="Power Man and Iron Fist">Power Man and Iron Fist</a>, <a href="Ghost_Rider_(comic_book)" title="Ghost Rider (comic book)">Ghost Rider</a>, <a href="Darkhold" class="mw-redirect" title="Darkhold">Darkhold</a>, <a href="Machine_Man" title="Machine Man">Machine Man</a>, Kull The Conqueror, <a href="Marvel_Team-Up" title="Marvel Team-Up">Marvel Team-Up</a>, <a href="Marvel_Two-in-One" title="Marvel Two-in-One">Marvel Two-in-One</a>, <a href="Crystar" title="Crystar">Crystar</a>, <a href="Moon_Knight" title="Moon Knight">Moon Knight</a> and many others, along with pin-ups for the black and white magazine <a href="Savage_Sword_of_Conan" title="Savage Sword of Conan">Savage Sword of Conan</a>.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a>

"Pencilling, if you're doing it right ... is a much tougher gig than inking. Even though I usually liked to know what was going on, with inking you don't necessarily have to be involved with the story. With pencilling you have to be intimately involved with the story because you're the one who's bringing the writers work and intentions across to the readers, as to what he's trying to communicate there. You have to think of the drama, the camera angles, and the composition, make sure you leave room for the word balloons, all those sorts of things".<a href="#cite_note-Adelaide_Comics_And_Books-5">[5]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Ghost_Rider">Ghost Rider</h4></div>

Simons' best known Marvel work was his run on the second series of <a href="Ghost_Rider_(comic_book)" title="Ghost Rider (comic book)">Ghost Rider</a>. His run on the title saw him first inking veteran artist <a href="Don_Perlin" title="Don Perlin">Don Perlin</a> before joining with <a href="Bob_Budiansky" title="Bob Budiansky">Bob Budiansky</a> to create one of the best remembered runs of the characters history. Budiansky and Simons worked with writers <a href="Roger_Stern" title="Roger Stern">Roger Stern</a> and <a href="J.M._DeMatteis" class="mw-redirect" title="J.M. DeMatteis">J.M. DeMatteis</a>. "The only speed bump we hit in this whole thing was when Simons, who of that team is the unsung hero, left", Budiansky recalled. "He used to come to the office dressed in leather. I mean, this was not an act, he'd come dressed in one of these black leather, zipper jackets. I don't know if he also wore leather pants. He might have worn them. But anyway, the point is, he knew how to ink leather, which was really important for Ghost Rider. So when he left the book we never really were able to replace that look that he gave the book. The rest of the team was all somewhat saddened by his departure."<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="DC_Comics">DC Comics</h3></div>

In the 1990s, Simons left Marvel and crossed companies to <a href="DC_Comics" title="DC Comics">DC Comics</a>.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> At DC, he worked on <a href="Deathstroke" title="Deathstroke">Deathstroke The Terminator</a>,

<a href="Spelljammer_(comics)" title="Spelljammer (comics)">Spelljammer</a>, <a href="Dragonlance_(comics)" title="Dragonlance (comics)">Dragonlance</a>, and <a href="Forgotten_Realms_(comics)" title="Forgotten Realms (comics)">Forgotten Realms</a>. "I liked the combination of me and Rags Morales ... [H]e has that <a href="Frazetta" class="mw-redirect" title="Frazetta">Frazetta</a> thing going on and I was hip to that and tried to bring that out a lot."<a href="#cite_note-Adelaide_Comics_And_Books-5">[5]</a> Simons worked on a number of cartoon based books during his time at DC and his work is featured in titles such as <a href="Cartoon_Network_Block_Party" class="mw-redirect" title="Cartoon Network Block Party">Cartoon Network Block Party</a>. During this time he also illustrated <a href="Roger_Rabbit" title="Roger Rabbit">Roger Rabbit</a><a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> at <a href="Disney" class="mw-redirect" title="Disney">Disney</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Dungeons_&_Dragons">Dungeons & Dragons</h3></div>

Simons also worked for TSR on books such as <a href="Otherlands_(Dragonlance)" class="mw-redirect" title="Otherlands (Dragonlance)">Otherlands</a> (1990), <a href="Greyhawk_Ruins" title="Greyhawk Ruins">Greyhawk Ruins</a> (1990), <a href="Tales_of_the_Lance" title="Tales of the Lance">Tales of the Lance</a> (1992), DMR2: Creature Catalog (1993), <a href="Monstrous_Manual" class="mw-redirect" title="Monstrous Manual">Monstrous Manual</a> (1993), <a href="The_Knight_of_Newts" title="The Knight of Newts">The Knight of Newts</a> (1993), and <a href="The_Created" title="The Created">The Created</a> (1993).

"The list of shows I've worked on is certainly longer than the list of comic books that I've worked on at this point", Simons once commented <a href="#cite_note-Adelaide_Comics_And_Books-5">[5]</a> Simons also storyboarded for the show Spy Dogs, which was directed by Will Meugniot and later, Mike Joens. Dave worked again with Gil on this show, hiring him as a storyboard artist. Simons has the distinction of working on both an animated TV program and the comic book spin-off at the same time, this was when he worked on the animated show <a href="Courage_the_Cowardly_Dog" title="Courage the Cowardly Dog">Courage the Cowardly Dog</a>, which he subsequently drew the <a href="DC_Comics" title="DC Comics">DC</a> comic book of the same name.
