He went on to illustrate the 12-issue maxiseries <i>Camelot 3000</i> and <i>Batman: The Killing Joke</i> for DC before shifting his focus to work almost exclusively on cover illustrations. Since then, he has earned a reputation as one of the best cover artists in the industry, and his elegantly composed and beautifully rendered pieces have graced a host of titles, including <i>Animal Man, Batman, The Flash, The Invisibles, Wonder Woman, </i> and many more.
