Bret Blevins, sometimes spelled Brett Blevins, (born 1960) is an American comic book artist, animation storyboard artist, and painter. He is perhaps best known for his stint as the regular penciler of New Mutants.

Career

Blevins became a professional comic book artist in the early 1980s. During that time, Blevins drew Marvel Comics adaptations of films such as The Dark Crystal, Krull, and The Last Starfighter. Blevins was a guest artist on a number of titles before becoming the regular artist of The Bozz Chronicles, which was published under Marvel's creator-owned Epic Comics imprint.

Blevins first regular job on a superhero comic was on the 1987 revival of Strange Tales. Strange Tales was an anthology that featured two ongoing features produced by two different creative teams - Cloak and Dagger drawn by Blevins and Doctor Strange.

That same year, Blevins became the regular penciler on New Mutants. Blevins drew the majority of issues from #55 to #83 (dated December 1989). Blevins later became the regular artist on Sleepwalker.

Blevins then began to work primarily on Elfquest and comic books produced by DC Comics, especially Batman comics.

In 1996, Blevins moved into the field of television animation. He primarily drew storyboards for Warner Brothers produced cartoons.
