He later worked with Simon Furman on Death's Hand and Transformers.
Bryan Hitch's art was first widely seen on "The Authority" working alongside Warren Ellis. It was here that his unique drawing style, his use of detailed "widescreen" panels, was fully realized His work continued to evolve in "The Ultimates", this time working in collaboration with Mark Millar. However, is work is categorically defined by his "lateness" in releasing issues. His runs of The Ultimates as well as JLA and Fantastic Four being of particular note. The final issue of his run on Fantastic Four was drawn by fill-in artist Stuart Immonen. The cover of the November 2006 issue of the British movie magazine Empire was designed and drawn by Hitch.
