Sean Chen's meteoric rise in the comic book world began when he was mentored by legendary artist Barry Windsor-Smith. Recruited by Valiant Comics, his debut comic, Rai and the Future Force, sold over a million copies, cementing his status as a rising star.

After an epic run on Valiant's X-O Manowar, Sean joined Marvel, where he was entrusted with the relaunch of Iron Man. A successful three-year run on the book solidified Sean's legacy as a seminal artist for the armored Avenger. Stints on X-Men, Avenger, Elektra as well as Marvel's flagship character, Wolverine, elevated Sean's status as a comic book legend.
