Biography

Fegredo first managed to get into comics after showing his portfolio around UKCAC in 1987 and meeting Dave Thorpe. Together they worked on a strip for a short lived British magazine called Heartbreak Hotel. After this, Fegredo worked for Crisis for Fleetway before working on Kid Eternity at DC Comics with writer Grant Morrison. He then worked with writer Peter Milligan on Enigma, an eight-issue miniseries for DC's Vertigo imprint. At 2000 AD he worked on Judge Dredd and a couple of other titles.

Other notable work includes the comic-book versions of Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent Bob characters, Shade the Changing Man and Ultimate Adventures

Duncan Fegredo is the new regular artist on Dark Horse's flagship series, Hellboy. Fegredo's first mini-series, Hellboy: Darkness Calls, was the first 6-issue Hellboy mini-series that did not feature Hellboy creator Mike Mignola on art. (Mignola plotted the book.) In the sixth and final issue of the series, editor Scott Allie announced that Fegredo was already working on the art for the next arc, entitled Hellboy: The Wild Hunt.
