Encyclopedia
Jerome K. Moore is an artist best known for his montage-style cover designs for DC Comics' "Star Trek" titles, and "Star Trek: The Next Generation," as well as for Malibu Comics' "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," and Innovation Comics' "Lost In Space." Moore primarily credits editor Robert Greenberger for allowing him to pioneer the style he used for the Star Trek comic covers, which was inspired by design styles once prevalent in movie poster one-sheets, as designed by Bob Peak, Drew Struzan, and many others. Moore was less active in comics for a span of time when he worked for Warner Bros.' marketing division where, as a Senior Character Artist, he handled style guide programs for such diverse properties as Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo, Tom and Jerry, The Wizard of Oz, along with feature assignments that included The Quest for Camelot, The Iron Giant, Osmosis Jones, Happy Feet, Speed Racer, and the Harry Potter franchise.
More recently, Moore has entered the world of animation. At Marvel/Lionsgate, he assisted on character design for their Direct-To-Video feature, "Planet Hulk." Subsequently, he returned to Warner Bros, this time as a character designer for the studio's animation division, under Bruce Timm. Moore has worked on Direct-To-Video features which include "Scooby-Doo: And The Legend of The Phantosaur," "Juctice League: Crisis on Two Earths," and "Green Lantern: Emerald Knights." Currently, he is a part of the creative team behind the "Young Justice" series, airing on Cartoon Network.
Moore considers himself privileged to be successfully working in the commercial art field, and being able to share his work and professional advice online at his extensive art gallery which can be found at Deviant Art.com. Among the highlights of his career, he lists the opportunity to work on characters that were childhood favorites, such as Superman, and Batman, as well as working with esteemed professionals such as Marv Wolfman, Len Wein, Gerry Conway, and Chris Claremont. He has also been thrilled to visit the Paramount Studios soundstages to tour the sets for Star Trek: The Next Generation, meeting most of the show's cast. He also states that one of the great perks of working on the Warner Bros Harry Potter marketing art program was his trip to the Leavesden Studios outside London, where he got to meet Daniel Radcliffe, and Rupert Grint.

Biography
Born in Kittery, Maine to William and Maxine, Moore was raised in New York City with his four siblings after their father completed his service in the United States Air Force. William Moore Jr. had a career as a professional illustrator at J. Walter Thompson ad agency, but his creative talents passed down only to his second son, Jerome. Jerome emulated his father by enrolling at Art & Design High School in Manhattan (which was called the School of Industrial Arts when his father attended). Moore majored in Cartooning, receiving special notices and awards in excellence, and, shortly after graduating, he embarked on a professional career at DC Comics. It was soon after this that William uprooted the family, moving everyone to Southern California. Moore continued to freelance for various comic book companies, occasionally attending the San Diego International Comic Convention.Moore considers himself privileged to be successfully working in the commercial art field, and being able to share his work and professional advice online at his extensive art gallery which can be found at Deviant Art.com.
