Ron Randall (born November 22, 1956)[1] is an American comic book artist best known as the creator of the character Trekker.

Career

A graduate of The Kubert School[2] Ron Randall's first published comic book work was a two-page backup story titled "Killers Above -- Killers Below!" which was written by Robert Kanigher and appeared in Unknown Soldier #243 (September 1980).[3] Randall then drew several stories for the Sgt. Rock title with Joe Kubert,[4] as well as for many of DC's mystery titles. He and writer Gary Cohn co-created the "Barren Earth" feature as a backup in The Warlord #63 (November 1982) and it was spun off into a four-issue limited series in 1985.[3] Randall became the artist on the Arak, Son of Thunder series with issue #26 (October 1983).[3] He collaborated with writer Greg Potter on the "Me & Joe Priest" graphic novel[5] and drew a few issues of Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run.[3] Randall introduced his creation Trekker, a 23rd-century female bounty hunter named Mercy St. Clair, in Dark Horse Presents #4 (January 1987).[6] The character is not named for fans of the Star Trek franchise.[7]

Randall illustrated the Endless Quest book Conan the Outlaw (1984) and the Dungeons & Dragons adventures To Find a King (1985) and The Bane of Llywelyn (1985).

In 1992, he and writer Gerard Jones became the creative team on the Justice League Europe title.[8]

He is a member of Periscope Studio in Portland, Oregon.[9] In September 2011, Randall launched Trekkkercomic.com, a website collecting all of the previously published Trekker material. Upon completion of the posting of older material, Randall began to present new Trekker stories on the site.[7] Trekker appeared in print again beginning with the story "The Train to Avalon Bay Part 1" in Dark Horse Presents vol. 2 #24 published in May 2013.[3][10] The Trekker Omnibus collecting the character's appearances was published by Dark Horse in August 2013.[11][12]

In 2012, Randall was commissioned by H&R Block to illustrate the tax liabilities of Batman and Spider-Man.[13]
