History of Adam Hughes in Comic Book Art

Adam Hughes began his comic book career in 1987 and is among the most renowned artists of pin-up style female characters. His distinctive style of female characters made him a regular creator of cover art for titles like Catwoman and Wonder Woman.

Hughes' earliest published work was of a pin-up in Eagle #6, followed by two short stories in Death Hawk #1.

In 1988, he became a penciller on Mike W. Barr's series, Maze Agency. His first published work for DC came with Justice League of America #31, following which he became a regular penciller and colourist for the series.

Hughes created his first two-page miniseries which he drew and wrote entitled Gen 13 - Ordinary Heroes for the publishing company WildStorm. From there he was asked to provide cover art for the ongoing series Wonder Woman for which he contributed a total of 49 covers. At the same time Hughes was also providing cover art for the Top Cow Comics' series Tomb Raider.

On top of being a prominent contributor to DC, Hughes has also provided cover art for Marvel, Dark Horse Comics, Lucasfilm, Warner Bros. Pictures and Playboy magazine.

His artistic influences come from many comic book artists that came before him such as Dave Stevens, Steve Rude and Mike Mignola, but also artists outside of the comic book genre like Norman Rockwell and Maxfield Parrish.

Hughes has also cited inspiration from other pin-up artists like Aberto Vargas and George Petty. One of Hughes' great talents is his range in style, being able to create characters that look cartoonish, as well as those that come with a certain photographic realism.
