Doug Hazlewood (born September 20, 1954)[1] is an American comic book artist, known primarily for inking.
Hazlewood has primarily worked for DC Comics during his career, often partnering with pencilers Tom Grummett and Nicola Scott, and he occupies a particular niche as Superman's "event-book" inker, working on such titles and story lines as The Death of Superman (1993) and Superman: The Wedding Album (1996).
Biography
Hazlewood came out of comics fandom, with one of his first published art credits being in FOOM #4 (1974), the last issue of that Marvel Comics-published fan magazine to be edited by Jim Steranko.

In 1979, he was published in the fanzine The Comic Reader. Up through the mid-1980s he had illustration work published sporadically in the Fantagraphics publications The Comics Journal and Amazing Heroes. In 1986, Hazlewood was named the winner of the inking portion of the Marvel Try-out Book,[2] and from that point forward found regular professional inking work.
At first, Hazlewood worked with AC Comics on such titles as Femforce and Nightveil. Next, he inked the entire eight-issue run of Eclipse Comics' The Liberty Project.
