Mike Huddleston

Huddleston started working in comics in the mid-1990s at the age of 21, doing creator-owned projects for Spoon Ink and Caliber, as well as some work for DC Comics, including a short run on Deathstroke with Marv Wolfman up until the title's cancellation. He later called this initial two-year stint a "false start", which prompted him to leave mainstream comics to join Jim Mahfood's 40 Oz Comics studio.*{{cite web |first=Alec |last=Berry |url=https://alecreadscomics.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/an-interview-w-mike-huddleston/ |title=An Interview w/ Mike Huddleston |publisher=Alec Reads Comics |date=May 21, 2012 }} Huddleston returned in 2000 with the creator-owned The Coffin for Oni Press, written by Phil Hester. Since then, Huddleston worked for independent publishers, Marvel and DC Comics, as well as latter's Vertigo and 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.*{{cite web |first=Chris |last=Arrant |url=http://www.newsarama.com/6799-the-butcher-the-baker-mike-huddleston-s-sick-mind.html |title=The BUTCHER, The BAKER, & Mike Huddleston's Sick Mind |publisher=Newsarama |date=January 5, 2011 }}*{{cite web |first=Johnny|last=Trouble |url=http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/1357/exclusive-interview-mike-huddleston-talks-about-butcher-baker-the-righteous-maker/ |title=Mike Huddleston Talks About 'Butcher Baker, The Righteous Maker'! |publisher=Bloody Disgusting |date=May 7, 2011 }} 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.*{{cite web |first=Kevin |last=Melrose |url=http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2012/08/butcher-baker-the-righteous-maker-is-apparently-dead/ |title=Butcher Baker, the Righteous Maker has ended, apparently |publisher=Comic Book Resources |date=August 15, 2012 }}*{{cite web |first=Timothy |last=Callahan |url=http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=40420 |title=When Words Collide: Joe Casey Talks the Return of Butcher Baker |publisher=Comic Book Resources |date=August 13, 2012 }}

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.*{{cite web |first=Blake |last=Northcott |url=http://mancave.cbslocal.com/2014/07/10/an-interview-with-mike-huddleston-artist-from-guillermo-del-toros-the-strain/ |title=Mike Huddleston of 'The Strain' |publisher=Man Cave Daily |date=July 10, 2014 }}*{{cite web |first=Mat |last=Elfring |url=http://comicvine.gamespot.com/articles/interview-mike-huddleston-discusses-the-third-act-/1100-149233/ |title=Mike Huddleston Discusses the Third Act of THE STRAIN and the Upcoming FX Series |publisher=Comicvine |date=July 11, 2014 }} 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.*{{cite web |first=Mark |last=Stack |url=http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=56293 |title=MIKE HUDDLESTON, ARTIST OF THE STRAIN |publisher=EAT.GEEK.PLAY |date=August 18, 2014 }}*{{cite web |first=Tim |last=O'Shea |url=http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=56293 |title="Strain" Artist Mike Huddleston Enjoys Hands-On Collaboration with Guillermo del Toro |publisher=Comic Book Resources |date=October 15, 2014 }}
