Biography

Huddleston started working in comics in the mid-1990s at the age of 21, doing creator-owned projects for

Wildstorm imprints, including lengthy runs on Harley Quinn with A. J. Lieberman and Gen¹³ with Scott Beatty and creator-owned mini-series such as Mnemovore with Ray Fawkes and Hans Rodionoff and Deep Sleeper
, again with Phil Hester.

His latest assignment was Butcher Baker, the Righteous Maker, a creator-owned project at Image with Joe Casey on writing duties.[2][3] The critically acclaimed series ended with issue #8, which was published on August 15, 2012, ten months after issue #7, a delay that Casey stated was due to Huddleston's having overcommitted himself. Huddleston responded to Casey's public statement by stating that the delay was caused by his need to take other work in order to make sufficient money, as Butcher Baker was not lucrative enough for him to avoid doing so. Huddleston further explained that he apologized to Casey and to fans for the delay.[4][5]

From 2011 to 2015 Huddleston worked as the artist of the comic adaptation of Guillermo del Toro's The Strain trilogy with David Lapham as the writer and del Toro as the consultant.[6][7] Reportedly, del Toro liked Huddleston's approach to design so much that it influenced the way he approached the eventual TV adaptation of the book, as well as the overall development of The Strain universe.[8][9]
