Education and career

He has also worked on other series such as Firestorm and The Outsiders for DC comics. In the early 2000s he worked on a series of hardcover graphic novels for international publishing house, Humanoids, Inc., before returning to the States to continue American comics, starting on Midnighter #11.[1]
