Chicagoland artist, Darren Fitzpatrick is a long-time collaborator on the Adhesiverse series of books. As the creator of the Gnat (and related characters) he has added a richness that has lent itself to some incredible jokes and fascinating storytelling. Darren debuted the Gnat in the summer of 2009 in Adhesive Man #2, spinning off into the Gnat #1 the following year. In 2012 Darren added a story to the Giant-Size Adhesive Man collection, chronicling the adventures of the Emergency Sidekick Alliance.
