Mike Grell's artwork is distinctive and highly detailed, with a scratchboard-like feel. Conversely, his writing is tight and minimalist, often letting his art speak for itself during action sequences. He is an avid big-game hunter, which is both revealed, and serves as an influence on his artwork and story lines, particularly in the Jon Sable Freelance series.
