Ming Doyle

Ming Doyle is an American comic book illustrator and writer. Her works, including Anatomy of a Metahuman, have been published by Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and Candlewick Press.[4]

Multiversity Comics praised Doyle's work for its "heavily lined, brushed inks" and the "sense of awe" it creates by "showing superheroics in an otherwise rather realistic setting".[5]
