Darryl Banks is an African-American comic book artist. He worked on one of the first painted comic books, Cyberpunk, and teamed with the writer Mark Ellis to revamp the long-running The Justice Machine series for two publishers, Innovation and Millennium.

At Millennium, working with Mark Ellis, he produced a critically acclaimed mini-series based on The Wild Wild West TV series and what is considered to be the best comics adaptation of Doc Savage with The Monarch of Armageddon.

Banks is best known for his run on Green Lantern (Volume 3), which ran from issue 50 till 142 (though there were many fill-ins). Along with co-creating Kyle Rayner, he's responsible for designing costumes for Parallax, Grayven, Fatality, and Dr. Light. He's been under the radar in recent years, having not worked on any notable titles in some time.

A recurring character known as "Banks" is part of the cast of the Outlanders novel series written by Mark Ellis, aka James Axler.
