Life and work

Lim began working as a full-time comic book artist in the late 1980s. Since then, he has mainly overseen science fiction and fantasy titles, among which the Marvel Comics series Silver Surfer deserves special mention, which Lim was the main artist from 1988 to 1994.

Lim's other Marvel projects were the miniseries Infinity Gauntlet (1991), Infinity War (1992) and Infinity Crusade (1993), as well as shorter runs on Marvel series such as Captain America (1990-1991), Dragon Lines (1993), X- Men 2099 (1993), Spider-Man Unlimited and J2 (1998-1999). He also got work for Marvel as a guest artist on series such as Generation X and Mutant X and drew the cross-publisher crossover Superman / Silver Surfer .

For Marvel's competitor DC Comics , Lim drew, among other things, the series Sovereign Seven (1998–1999) written by Chris Claremont , as well as parts of the one-shot Supermen of America (1999) written by Stuart Immonen .

Lim's attempt to set up his own business with other artists by founding the Future Comics publishing house failed in 2002 within a few months. The Metallix series he designed had only six issues before the publisher had to stop working.

More recently he worked on the Marvel series Thanos (2004), Fantastic Fove and Avengers Next , as well as some comics about Sonic the Hedgehog for Archie Comics. His current project is a miniseries titled Iron Man / Dr .
