Loston Wallace (born 1970 in Clintwood, Virginia) is a freelance comic book artist and comics-licensing illustrator, based in North Carolina.
Wallace attended The Kubert School from 1994-1996. In 1996, Wallace married Carolyn Waterson, who had also attended the Kubert School.
Wallace began his freelance art career in 1996, providing interior illustration for role-playing games such as Pinnacle Entertainment's Deadlands RPG and FASA Corporation's Battletech and Mechwarrior games. He worked as a freelance illustrator for roleplaying games for five years, working on games like Shadowrun, West End's Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and GURPS Old West.
In 1998, Wallace began freelancing for DC Comics' licensing department, illustrating Batman Animated and Superman Animated children's books, based on the television animated series. In 2001 Loston penciled Klyde & Meriem, a 40-page Cavewoman one-shot comic for Basement Comics that was written by James Robert Smith and inked by Kim DeMulder.
In 2002, Wallace was invited by Jim Keefe to guest pencil a Sunday strip for King Features' comic strip Flash Gordon. This strip followed the last Al Williamson Flash Gordon strip. Loston then penciled several stories in the Elvira, Mistress of the Dark comic book series, working on stories written by Richard Howell and Janet Hetherington. Loston's pencils matched up with veteran comic inkers like Bob Wiacek and Bob McLeod.
