American comic book artist, particularly known for his work at Marvel Comics in the 1970s. While his comics career was relatively short - he worked on a handful of titles, and left Marvel in the late 1970s - his detailed, baroque style has proven enormously influential.
Brunner is best-known for his collaboration with writer Steve Englehart on Doctor Strange (in Marvel Premiere in 1972-3, and in the relaunched Doctor Strange title in 1974), and for a handful of Howard The Duck stories with writer Steve Gerber.
Brunner briefly returned to comics in the mid 1980s, as the artist on the First Comics title Warp . He has devoted most of his time, though, to fine art painting and to animation design.
