The Shrewsbury-based illustrator, who was born in Wolverhampton, has captivated readers worldwide with his stunning artwork and imaginative storytelling, and recently released a number of comic books.
The Batman: First Knight came out in November last year and is available in hardback, in book shops including Waterstones and others including HMV.
Mike also worked with well-known writer Garth Ennis to create ‘Freddie The Fix’ which was released in December and is already highly-rated, and has worked with Oscar-winning writer John Ridley to release Justice League: The Atom Project, with the second issue set to come out next week after the first released last month.

"Even though I was only seven years old it emphasised in my brain that this is something I could do.

Mike is continuing his work with the Justice League series and said he has three comics to complete.
Mike also revealed that there is talk about a sequel to The Batman: First Knight comic which may lead to another exciting project.
Local fans may also get a chance to meet Mike in the flesh this summer, as he is set to make an appearance at an event in Shrewsbury.
