Career

Early career

Haun entered the comics industry in 2002, producing work for Image Comics, IDW Publishing, Oni Press, Devil's Due Publishing, and Top Cow. [2] [3] His early credits include the Image/Top Cow miniseries Berserker and Battle Hymn. [3] [6]

Marvel Comics hired Haun for the 2006 New Excalibur series during the Civil War event. [3] [7] He transitioned to DC Comics in 2008, contributing art to Detective Comics and other Batman-family titles. [3]

Haun is largely self-taught, though art instructors from grade school through college influenced his development; he has described formal training as "all pretty bad" but credits on-the-job practice for honing skills like anatomy and fashion rendering on projects such as Batwoman. [8] [7] He cites Bernie Wrightson, Tim Sale, and 1970s–80s horror films as key visual influences. [8] [7]

Work for major publishers

Haun illustrated arcs on DC titles including Gotham City Sirens , Batwoman , Constantine: Hellblazer , and Batman: Arkham Reborn . [3] [6] [7] At Marvel, he drew portions of Captain America and Red Hood: The Lost Days . [7] [9] Other credits include Wolf Moon (DC/Vertigo), Masters of Horror (IDW), and King Spawn (Image). [6] [5]

Creator-owned work

Haun's creator-owned projects emphasize horror and thriller genres. With Jason A. Hurley, he developed The Beauty from Top Cow's 2011 Pilot Season anthology, which won that year's "Crown" contest; Image Comics published the ongoing series from 2015 to 2019 (29 issues), a 2021 one-shot, and six trade paperbacks, with Ignition Press relaunching it in 2025. [10] [11] [12] According to Comichron, The Beauty #1 sold an estimated 25,245 copies in its first month—Image's fourth-best launch that August—and went through three printings. [13] Critics praised its body-horror premise satirizing beauty standards. [12]

Haun wrote and drew The Realm (Image, 2018–2020) and Haunthology, a Kickstarter-funded short story collection released by Image in 2023. [3] [5] For BOOM! Studios, he created Red Mother (2019–2021, three volumes) and The Approach (2023–). [2] [14] Other titles include 40 Seconds (ComiXology/Dark Horse) and Murder Podcast (Ignition Press, 2025).
