[edit] Biography

Graduating from Sheridan College, Milne debuted on the comics scene after being picked up by Dreamwave Productions to pencil their Transformers: Energon series. He would also work on Transformers Armada: More Than Meets the Eye, and the box art for the Alternators Jazz and Grimlock during his time there. After the collapse of Dreamwave, Milne was hired by UDON to work on Devil's Due Publishing's third G.I. Joe vs the Transformers comic. After its completion, Milne was hired by IDW Publishing to pencil and ink the official adaptation of the 2007 Transformers movie, released in June, 2007, a month before the release of the movie.^[2] Other major projects have included IDW's The Transformers: Megatron Origin and the The Transformers: Spotlight issue on Arcee as well as Transformers Timelines for Fun Publications and the TFcon Toronto 2007 "Alternated Masterpiece" lithograph. He recently created the artwork for the 2008 BotCon box art and is currently working on the Transformers Movie Sequel comic: The Reign of Starscream.

[edit] Controversy

Comic Book Resources disclosed that much of the work credited to Dreamwave founder Pat Lee was in fact drawn by Milne, who received only a fragment of Lee's payment for work on Cyber Force. When Top Cow discovered this, Lee stopped paying Milne entirely.^[3] Milne later confirmed all this in an interview. ^[4]
