Michael Kellar
Comic book inker known for his work on The Ascendant
Michael Kellar is a comic book inker whose work has contributed to the visual richness of independent comics. His inking on The Ascendant helped define the series’ dark, atmospheric aesthetic—adding weight and texture to penciler Christopher Hanchey’s designs.
On The Ascendant, Kellar co-inked the early issues with Hanchey, bringing his skills to a series that explores themes of redemption through the lens of dark fantasy and mythology. The comic follows Cail, a former Duke of Hell who escapes after millennia of villainy and decides to hunt down other escaped demons rather than continue his campaign of chaos.
Kellar’s work can be found in the collected editions of The Ascendant, where his inking helps create the contrast between the brightness of the human world and the darkness of Hell—both visually and thematically.
