Lynn Varley is a colorist, notable for her collaborations with her former husband, comic book writer/artist Frank Miller, whom she divorced in 2005.[1]
Biography
Varley provided the coloring for Miller's Ronin (1984), an experimental six-issue series from DC Comics that proved that comics in unusual formats could be commercially successful, and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (1986), a four issue mini-series that went on to become a commercial and critical success.[2] In a special edition, Miller notes that Varley was also the one who helped create the futuristic slang that Carrie Kelly and other characters use.
Subsequently, Varley colored other Miller books, including Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again, 300, Elektra Lives Again, Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot (with Geoff Darrow), as well as a number of covers for the Lone Wolf and Cub series. She also colored the backgrounds for the 300 movie (2007), produced by Miller.
Awards
Varley has received recognition in the comics industry, particularly in 1999, when she won the Harvey Award, the Eisner Award,[3] and the Comics Buyer's Guide Awards for Favorite Colorist. (She also won the CBG award in 1986 and 2000.)
