A short stint as storyboard artist for Batman: The Animated Series, Superman, Big Guy & Rusty, and Men in Black followed. Eager to explore writing, Hester created, wrote, and drew (often with many of his close friends as collaborators) the offbeat indie super hero title The Wretch, which was nominated for an Eisner as Best New Series in 1997. Īfter an adaptation of Tom DeHaven’s Freaks’ Amour with long time inker and friend Ande Parks, Phil began a long run as penciller on DC/Vertigo’s Swamp Thing with writer Mark Millar. Although mainstream work at DC and Marvel soon followed, via Flash and Namor annuals respectively, Hester remained active in alternative comics, becoming a regular contributor to the anthologies Negative Burn, Deadline USA, and the groundbreaking Taboo. Upon graduation, Hester and writer Paul Tobin created F ringe for Caliber Press, beginning his long association with the indie publisher. His earliest full length comics were published by black and white explosion start-ups Silverwolf, Malibu, and Eternity. Phil Hester began his twenty plus year career in comics while still a student at The University of Iowa.
