Doug Hazlewood (born September 20, 1954) 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).
Hazlewood came out of comics fandom, with one of his first credits being in 1979 in the zine 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, 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.
Hazlewood latched on with DC Comics in 1988 as the regular inker for the new title Animal Man, written by Grant Morrison. Hazlewood remained as the book's inker for two years, up through issue #24. During this period, Hazlewood worked for the British company Fleetway, publisher of 2000 AD, as a cover inker for the title Psi-Judge Anderson.
