Graham Nolan studied under legend, and master storyteller, Joe Kubert at the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Arts before making his first sale to DC comics in “New Talent Showcase”.

Nolan has done illustration work for TSR’s Dungeons & Dragons games, toy and package art and designs for Kenner and Warner Bros. as well as advertising work. But his true love has always been comics. Graham bounced around doing freelance work for Marvel and DC and Eclipse Comics working on THE TRANSFORMERS, DOOM PATROL, POWER OF THE ATOM, HAWKWORLD and THE PROWLER.

In 1992 he was asked to co-create and design the villain BANE for VENGEANCE OF BANE, to kick off the iconic KNIGHTFALL storyline. At that time he also began a long run illustrating Batman in his flagship book, DETECTIVE COMICS written by his friend Chuck Dixon.

By 1998, Nolan was tired of the direction of corporate comics and started COMPASS COMICS as a way to publish his own IP. The first property out of the gate was MONSTER ISLAND which in turn led him to be asked to illustrate two long time King Features Syndicate strips, REX MORGAN, M.D. and THE PHANTOM.

In 2009 Nolan launched his own humor strip, SUNSHINE STATE which runs weekly on GOCOMICS.COM.

After leaving newspaper strip work in 2013, Nolan has concentrated on writing and illustrating creator-owned projects like JOE FRANKENSTEIN for IDW, THE GIRLS OF DIMENSION 13 for AFTERSHOCK COMICS and THE CHENOO, ALIEN ALAMO and GIANT-SIZE TWO-FISTED MANLY TALES for COMPASS COMICS.
