Starting in 1982 as a bad inker for Marvel Comics, he evolved into a not-so-bad artist. By the late 1980s, he'd begun to develop his 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, leading to over two decades of comics spinoffs, prose books, animated films, and live-action films. He worked on Francis Ford Coppola's film \u003ci\u003eBram Stoker's Dracula \u003c\/i\u003e(1992), Disney's \u003ci\u003eAtlantis: The Lost Empire \u003c\/i\u003e(2001), and with director Guillermo del Toro on \u003ci\u003eBlade II \u003c\/i\u003e(2002)\u003ci\u003e, Hellboy\u003c\/i\u003e (2004), and \u003ci\u003eHellboy II: The Golden Army \u003c\/i\u003e(2008).
