Richard Renick Hoberg[1] (/ˈhoʊbɜːrɡ/; born June 7, 1952) is an American comics artist and animator.
Newspaper strips
Hoberg began his career in comic books in the mid-1970s, working for Russ Manning on Tarzan comic books for overseas distribution (1975–1976) and later assisted Manning on the Star Wars comic strip (1979–1980).[2] Hoberg also ghosted Sunday pages for Fred Kida on The Amazing Spider-Man strip (1981–1982).[1]
Comic books
Between 1977 and 1979, Hoberg contributed artwork for Marvel Comics' The Invaders, Kull the Destroyer, Savage Sword of Conan, Star Wars, and What If...?.[2] In the 1980s, Hoberg mainly drew for such DC Comics titles as All-Star Squadron, Batman, The Brave and the Bold, Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew!, Checkmate, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, and Justice League of America Annual.[3] He was one of the contributors to the DC Challenge limited series in 1986.[4]
Writer Dennis Mallonee and Hoberg developed the format for Marvel's Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe series.[5] They later co-created Eternity Smith, and from 1986 to 1988 Hoberg penciled that title, first for Renegade Press and then for Hero Comics. Hoberg also worked on DNAgents and Surge at Eclipse Comics (1984–1986).[2][3]
In the 1990s, Hoberg spent a long stint as the penciller on Green Arrow. With writer Steve Englehart, Hoberg co-created The Strangers for Malibu Comics and penciled the title from 1993–1995. Hoberg also penciled select issues of DC's New Gods in 1990–1991 and Roger Rabbit for Disney (1990–1991).[3] Since the mid-1990s, Hoberg's comics work has been sporadic.
In 2002–2003, Hoberg worked with Stefano Gaudiano on the art for the Batman Family series for DC Comics.[6]
