Biography

Williams' early work includes penciling the four-issue miniseries, "Deathwish" (1994-1995) from Milestone Media. "Deathwish" was written by Adam Blaustein and inked by Jimmy Palmiotti. He first came to prominence as the artist on the short-lived (ten issues, 1997-1998) "Chase" title from DC Comics, where he worked with writer D. Curtis Johnson.

Williams and Gray collaborated on two DC Elseworlds graphic novels, "Justice Riders", written by Chuck Dixon, and "Son of Superman", written by Howard Chaykin and David Tischman. Williams' next major work was for Wildstorm Comics' America's Best Comics with writer Alan Moore on "Promethea" (32 issues, 1999-2005).

In mid-2005 Williams launched a new series, this time with writer Warren Ellis, "Desolation Jones", as well as illustrating the two "bookend" issues of Grant Morrison's "Seven Soldiers" project. In 2007 he worked with Morrison on another project, a three part Batman story in "Batman" 667-669. Williams also drew "Jonah Hex" #35 [ [http://www.newsarama.com/comics/090804-JHWilliamsHex.html JH Williams: On Drawing Jonah Hex] , Newsarama, September 4, 2008] and has stated an interest in doing more, saying "I certainly want to do more issues myself or even a graphic novel if the opportunity and schedule presented itself."
