Frank Quitely es el seudónimo del dibujante escocés Vincent Patrick Deighan, nacido en 1968 en Rutherglen. Desde niño cultivó una profunda pasión por el arte y las ilustraciones, lo que lo llevó a estudiar dibujo y pintura en la Escuela de Arte de Glasgow. Tras graduarse, realizó trabajos diversos —murales, retratos, carteles— hasta que una invitación para escribir y dibujar para un cómic local desencadenó su amor por la historieta.

Adoptó el nombre artístico Frank Quitely (un juego de palabras con "quite frankly") porque prefería mantener su trabajo en el cómic alejado de su entorno familiar. Su trayectoria despegó con la obra independiente Electric Soup, que le valió reconocimiento inmediato y lo introdujo al panorama editorial británico. Pronto colaboró con creadores como Grant Morrison, en títulos emblemáticos como New X‑Men, We3, All‑Star Superman y Batman and Robin. También trabajó con Mark Millar en The Authority y Jupiter’s Legacy, destacando por su estilo visual único.

Quitely ha sido ampliamente premiado tanto por su dibujo como por su narrativa visual. Su estilo se caracteriza por composiciones detallistas, expresividad estimulante y una habilidad excepcional para transmitir emoción y movimiento a través de la imagen. Actualmente, sigue viviendo en Escocia, donde continúa desarrollando proyectos que siguen marcando tendencias en el mundo del cómic.
