Jim Lee is a world-renowned comic book artist, writer, and publisher, widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in modern comics. Known for his highly detailed and dynamic style, Lee helped redefine superhero visuals for a generation. He rose to prominence at Marvel Comics, where his work on X-Men contributed to the best-selling single issue of all time, with over 8 million copies sold. In 1992, Lee co-founded Image Comics, a groundbreaking publisher that reshaped the industry by giving creators ownership of their work. Through WildStorm Productions, he created titles such as WildC.A.T.s and Gen¹³, helping establish Image as a dominant force in comics. After WildStorm was acquired by DC in 1998, Lee illustrated landmark works including Batman: Hush and played a key role in shaping the modern DC Universe.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
