Biography
His first published work was in Warren's anthology title, Eerie, working on various stories and series including "Hunter" and its sequals, before drawing various Future Shocks for 2000AD for various writers, including Alan Moore.
In 1978 he started working on Hulk Weekly for Marvel UK which had just been drastically revamped by Dez Skinn. During this time he drew various strips for Marvel UK, including Hulk and Nick Fury, plus helping new artists such as Alan Davis.
During the early 1980s he created Madman for Dez Skinn's Warrior before becoming a regular inker for Alan Davis's work for DC Comics. Their most notable work at this time being a run drawing Batman for Detective Comics.
Neary became closly associated with Davis, inking his work from titles such as Uncanny X-Men to Captain Britain. Their working partnership still lasts to the present.
Neary became editor-in-chief of Marvel UK for a time in the 1990s, helping expand the amount of titles for a short time. This only lasted a few years as Marvel UK suffered due to the comics glut of that time.
Neary has since been concentrating on inking since then. He has inked Bryan Hitch's work on The Authority and is now regularly working with Hitch on The Ultimates for Marvel Comics.
