Marc Silvestri, (born on March 3 1958 in Palm Beach, Florida), is an American comic book artist and publisher.
He began his career at Marvel Comics, and is best-known as the penciller of Uncanny X-Men between 1987 and 1990. He then spent two years pencilling its spin-off title Wolverine.
In 1992 Silvestri became one of the original seven artists - along with Jim Lee, Whilce Portacio, Rob Liefeld, Erik Larsen, Todd McFarlane and Jim Valentino - to form the breakaway comics company Image Comics. Silvestri's stable of titles was published under the imprint Top Cow. The demands of publishing meant Silvestri's time to spend on his own artwork steadily diminished.
Disputes among the Image partners led to Silvestri's briefly leaving the publisher in 1996, but he soon returned after Liefeld severed his own ties with Image.
Top Cow successes include the titles Witchblade and The Darkness.
In 2004 Silvestri made a brief return to Marvel to pencil several issues of X-Men, collaborating with writer Grant Morrison.de:Marc Silvestri fr:Marc Silvestri
