Glenn Fabry (/ˈfeɪbri/;[1] born 24 March 1961) is a British comics artist known for his detailed, realistic work in both ink and painted colour.

Career

[edit]

Glenn Fabry's career began in 1985, drawing Slaine for 2000 AD, with writer Pat Mills. He also worked with Mills on the newspaper strip Scatha in 1987. Painted work followed in Crisis, Revolver and Deadline. In 1991 he took over painting the covers of Hellblazer, then written by Garth Ennis.[2]

He has continued his association with Ennis, painting the covers for his Vertigo series Preacher, and drawing Ennis-written stories in The Authority and Thor. In 2003 he drew a story in Neil Gaiman's Sandman anthology Endless Nights, and in 2005 worked on the comics adaptation of Gaiman's TV series/novel Neverwhere with writer Mike Carey.

Recent projects include providing the art for the Vertigo title Greatest Hits, written by David Tischman.[3][4][5]

Personal life

[edit]

In 2018, Fabry announced that he had been diagnosed with lung cancer. [6] It was found to be a misdiagnosis in December 2018, and was confirmed to be tuberculosis,[7] which he reported in January 2019 was in remission.[8]
