Many covers and mini series later for everone from Millenium comics, Dark Horse Comics, Topps, and scores of others, Tony landed his first mainstream work for Epic at Marvel in the form of Clive Barker's Nightbreed. Then onto The Hulk at Marvel, Punisher, Darkhold, and scores of pinups, covers and various assignments. After getting the attention of Archie goodwin at DC Comics from painting his first cover for Green Lantern Corps Quarterly, Archie offered the ongoing Starman series with James Robinson to Tony. After 45 issues( sans fill-ins), almost 100 painted covers  , and various spin offs and specials, Tony left that series to do a myriad of projects like JSA: The Liberty File, it's sequel, JSA: The Unholy 3. Doctor Starnge: The flight of Bones, and back to his Indy roots with the creator owned OBERSGEIST for Top Cow publishing.

As he approaches his 50 issue run and the completion of that critically acclaimed, successful series, Tony is set to again to swim deep into the creator owned waters of his next ongoing series( sold but yet to be announced).And this year Desperado publishing will release the 20 year retrospective coffee table art book called TONY HARRIS : ART & SKULLDUGGERY.  Tony lives in Macon GA with his family.
