American artist
Jackson "Butch" Guice (born June 27, 1961) is an American comics artist who has worked in the comics industry since the 1980s.

Guice was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Growing up in the 1960s, Guice was fond of "the legendary stop motion animator and filmmaker" Ray Harryhausen, whose influence can be seen in some of Guice's work, most notably the Humanoids project Olympus.

Guice began his career with fanzine work and "designing patches and emblems for a small company in North Carolina." On the strength of his fanzine work, (and, Guice believes, at the behest of Rom writer Bill Mantlo) Marvel editor Al Milgrom offered him a tryout on the toy spin off title Micronauts. Referring to Rom Annual #1 and Micronauts #48 (Dec. 1982), he remarked that "[b]oth were breaking points for me getting into comics". Guice continued penciling Micronauts until #58 (May 1984). In July 1983, "The Butch Guice Portfolio" appeared in the pages of Marvel Fanfare #9, and Guice contributed to The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, Chris Claremont and Bill Mantlo's X Men and the Micronauts four issue miniseries as well as occasional issues of a number of different titles. In 1984, he drew the Marvel Comics adaptation of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and inked Dazzler. In 1986, he penciled X Factor, while concurrently contributing pencils to The New Mutants. In mid 1987, he was credited with inks to "Brian Guice" 's pencils for five issues of Adventure Publications' Adventurers, which was written and edited by Scott Behnke. That same year, Guice collaborated on several different titles with writer Mike Baron, including issues of First Comics' Badger, Nexus and The Chronicles of Corum. This third Flash series featured Wally West after the demise of Barry Allen in the Crisis on Infinite Earths series. Guice drew ten of the first eleven issues. In 1988–89, Guice produced a series of covers for the Quality Comics/Fleetway 2000 AD reprint title 2000AD Showcase, while penciling the Iron Man title for Marvel. In 1989 he became the artist on Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme.

Guice's cover for Doctor Strange #15 (March 1990) used Christian music singer Amy Grant's likeness without her permission, leading to her management filing a complaint against Marvel Comics, saying the cover gave the appearance she was associating with witchcraft. A US District Court sealed an out of court settlement between Grant and Marvel in early 1991, with a consent decree that Marvel did not admit to any liability or wrongdoing. Guice and writer Walt Simonson co created the Ahab character in Fantastic Four Annual #23 (1990). In 1991, Guice took over penciling Nick Fury, Agent of S. H. I. E. L. D., before moving back to DC. Guice drew Action Comics #676–711 (April 1992–July 1995) and worked with writers Roger Stern and David Michelinie. During this run, Guice and Stern (along with editor Mike Carlin, Dan Jurgens, Louise Simonson and others) were the architects of "The Death of Superman" storyline, in which Superman died and was resurrected. Stern and Guice incorporated the Eradicator character into the "Reign of the Supermen" story arc beginning in The Adventures of Superman #500 (June 1993). Spinning out of that event, Stern and Guice collaborated on a Supergirl miniseries.</blockquote>

Guice illustrated the four issue DC/Marvel: All Access mini series (December 1996–February 1997) follow up to the cross company DC Versus Marvel/Marvel Versus DC event. He was one of many artists to contribute to the landmark marriage of Superman and Lois Lane in Superman: The Wedding Album (December 1996). In May 1997, Guice launched Resurrection Man with writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, pencilling all 27 issues and inking most of them including the special #1,000,000 issue for the DC One Million event. The series was cancelled in August 1999.

In March 2000, Guice became the artist on Birds of Prey for issues #15 to #34. In addition, Guice drew a "Robin and Oracle" story in Batman: Gotham City Secret Files and Origins and the Universe X Spidey one shot, from Marvel. After his run on Birds of Prey, Guice left DC Comics and moved to Tampa, Florida to work for CrossGen. He was brought in to launch Ruse with writer Mark Waid, in November 2001. Effectively a Victorian steampunk detective story, although set on an analogue of Earth in the far distant future, and part of CrossGen's 'Sigilverse'. Guice continued as the penciller of Ruse until its cancellation with #26 (January 2004). Guice resigned from CrossGen "just prior to the layoffs" and before the remaining staff were released from "exclusivity status". as Guice said in December 2003, while working on Volume One that that book "wraps in March [2004]", which him then "scheduled to start work on volume two almost immediately".</blockquote>

In 2007, Guice provided rotating art duties for The Invincible Iron Man, with issue #19–20's World War Hulk tie in issue and became inker on Captain America for #32–34, and then taking over full duties as of #35. Guice penciled a miniseries taking place in the Ultimate Universe, entitled Ultimate Origins written by Brian Michael Bendis. Bendis wrote of Guice "I've been a fan of his for years and years, and when I saw what he was doing in Iron Man [with Gage] I had to have him." Guice was the penciler on the Wildstorm mini series Storming Paradise, written by Chuck Dixon.

Guice and his wife Julie have a daughter, Elizabeth Diane, born in 1988.
