His first cover for the title – Issue 5207, “American Avenger” is on sale next week and comes ahead of the release of another of his projects, Out of the Blue, created with Garth Ennis for US publisher Aftershock Comics.

An award winning aviation artist and commercial illustrator, Keith has illustrated comics for the past decade – and is perhaps best known to downthetubes readers for his work on Titan Comics revival of the Battle Picture Weekly Star, airman Johnny Red.
