Kyle Hotz

Kyle Hotz, most often associated with dark moody comics, has been a penciller/inker/writer for over fifteen years. He’s developed his reputation for scary books working on characters like Carnage, The Hood, and Cal MacDonald.

He’s worked with Dark Horse, Image, DC, Chaos, Scholastic, and Marvel, in a variety of stylistic approaches, ranging from dreadful and serious to comedic and crazy. One of his most lushly illustrated projects was his creator owned MOSAIC, which Tim Bradstreet praised by saying “MOSAIC will hit you like a freight train”.

Jemma Press released a Greek edition of MOSAIC, with all new cover collaboration by Hotz and Tattoo artist David Boltt, and will be releasing the Greek edition of Hotz’s favorite work, BILLY THE KID’S OLD TIMEY ODDITIES.

Hotz co-created BILLY THE KID with Eric Powell (THE GOON) and the book received an ‘A’ rating from Entertainment Weekly, which said the book was the best historical comic since LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN. Hotz and Powell are now hard at work on the sequel to BILLY THE KID, to be published this summer by Dark Horse.

He also co-created THE HOOD for Marvel, who, since his introduction many years ago, has gone on to become one of the most popular villains of the Marvel universe – to the point where Hotz was asked to return to the character for a sequel last summer.

He has worked on a wide variety of books, including NIGHT MAN, LORD PUMPKIN, RUNE and CURSE OF RUNE for Malibu, CRIMINAL MACABRE, THE GOON, and BILLY THE KID’S OLD TIMEY ODDITIES for Dark Horse, EPILOGUE for IDW, THE AGENCY for Top Cow, and VENOM, DR. STRANGE, CARNAGE, GREEN GOBLIN, THE HOOD, WRAITH, THE HULK, BLACK PANTHER, CAPTAIN MARVEL, AGENT X, ZOMBIE, SIMON GARTH: THE ZOMBIE and others for Marvel.
