Starting in 1982 as a bad inker for Marvel Comics, he swiftly evolved into a not-so-bad artist. By the late 1980s, he had begun to develop his own unique graphic style, with mainstream projects like \u003ci\u003eCosmic Odyssey\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBatman: Gotham by Gaslight\u003c\/i\u003e. In 1994, he published the first \u003ci\u003eHellboy\u003c\/i\u003e series through Dark Horse. As of this writing there are thirteen \u003ci\u003eHellboy\u003c\/i\u003e graphic novels (with more on the way), several spinoff titles (\u003ci\u003eB.P.R.D., Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSir Edward Grey: Witchfinder\u003c\/i\u003e), prose books, animated films, and two live-action films starring Ron Perlman. Along the way he worked on Francis Ford Coppola's film \u003ci\u003eBram Stoker's Dracula\u003c\/i\u003e (1992), was a production designer for \u003ci\u003eDisney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire\u003c\/i\u003e (2001), and was the visual consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on \u003ci\u003eBlade II\u003c\/i\u003e (2002), \u003ci\u003eHellboy\u003c\/i\u003e (2004), and \u003ci\u003eHellboy II: The Golden Arm\u003c\/i\u003ey (2008).
