[edit] Biography

Since his 1992 debut on Green Lantern: Mosaic, Hamner has worked for nearly every major American comic book publisher, and is chiefly known for such titles as the aforementioned Green Lantern: Mosaic, Blue Beetle, and Red. He is also one of the original members of Atlanta's Gaijin Studios, from which he still works. Some of his work can be seen in Top Cow's 2005 Warren Ellis series Down and as the artist and designer of DC Comics' current Blue Beetle character. He was the regular artist for that character's monthly series in 2006 and 2007, leaving that title with its tenth issue, though he continued through the following year as the regular cover artist for that book.[1] He later handled the art chores on Black Lightning: Year One, written by Jen Van Meter, which premiered in January 2009. Hamner has also been Creative Consultant to 12 Gauge Comics, publisher of such titles as The Ride, Gun Candy, Body Bags, and O.C.T.: The Occult Crimes Taskforce.

On June 12, 2008, it was announced on the front page of The Hollywood Reporter that Summit Entertainment had optioned Red, his 2003 thriller with writer Warren Ellis, as a feature film. Whiteout screenwriters Erich and Jon Hoeber wrote the adaptation, to be directed by Robert Schwentke of The Time Traveler's Wife, and produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian of Transformers.[2] Principal photography is slated to begin in January 2010 in Toronto and Louisiana with stars Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman.[3]

In March 2009, it was announced that he had signed an exclusive contract with DC Comics, and in June, 2009, he began his current run on the monthly Detective Comics, featuring The Question.[4]
