Graham Nolan was born on
March 12 ,1962 . His first comics credit came in April 1985, when his work appeared inDC Comics ' "Talent Showcase" #16, alongsideEric Shanower andStan Woch (among others). Moving on to issues of the UK "Transformers " comic, in 1988 he started a 12-issue run on DC's "Power of the Atom " comic. In June 1990, he launchedJohn Ostrander andTim Truman 's "Hawkworld " comic, pencilling it for 26 issues until late 1992. Between 1992 and 1998, he worked on many issues of "Detective Comics ", illustrating key parts of the and KnightsEnd sagas featuring Azrael andBatman .In 1998 he created and published his own comic strip, "Monster Island". When this strip was reprinted as a back-up feature in the Scandinavian
The Phantom magazines, Nolan was also asked to provide painted Phantom covers for three issues. This, combined with a Phantom story Nolan and Chuck Dixon had made previously for a trading card series, led to Nolan being offered the job as artist on the Phantom Sunday strip in 2000. Nolan quickly accepted the offer, as the character had been one of his favorites since childhood. By the time he started with The Phantom he was already the daily and Sunday artist on another newspaper strip, "Rex Morgan, M.D. ". Nolan pencils, inks, letters and colors his work on these two newspaper strips. He filled in for "Judge Parker " artistEduardo Barreto for a week in late 2006 when Barreto was nearly killed in a car accident inUruguay .In 2006, Nolan also drew a story for
Moonstone Books ' Phantom Annual, which was written by his former Batman-partner, Chuck Dixon.He left the Phantom strip in 2006, with Paul Ryan taking over for him on the Sunday pages, to work on other projects.
