Ray Fawkes

Ray Fawkes is a writer and artist whose career spans creator-owned experimentation, horror, mystery, and mainstream supernatural comics. He is the author of books including Underwinter, Intersect, One Soul, The People Inside, The Spectral Engine, Possessions, and Junction True, while his work for major publishers includes Batman: Eternal, Constantine, Justice League Dark, Gotham by Midnight, Wolverines, Black Hammer ’45, and Jackpot!.

An Eisner, Harvey, and Shuster award nominee and a YALSA award winner, Fawkes has spent more than twenty years making comics across both DIY and major-publisher spaces in the U.S. and Canada. That breadth matters because his work never feels trapped in a single mode: he can build intimate formal experiments like One Soul, sustained atmospheric horror like Underwinter, or franchise material that still holds onto tone and voice.

He is a valuable creator-hub subject precisely because the work branches in multiple directions while still feeling recognizably his. The throughline is atmosphere, structure, and a willingness to let comics do things other narrative forms cannot do as elegantly.
