Bryan Hitch is a British comic book artist, best known for his work on titles such as Wildstorm's Stormwatch (vol. 2) and The Authority (both together with writer Warren Ellis), DC's JLA (with writer Mark Waid) and the Ultimate Marvel titles The Ultimates and The Ultimates 2 (with writer Mark Millar). Long before any of that, as a spotty seventeen year old in the 1980s<ref>Bryan Hitch's Ultimate Comics Studio. Impact Books</ref>, he drew his first pencils on Marvel UK's Action Force. He'd go on to do pencils for various Transformers issues and covers, as well as the first five issues of Death's Head. He's been cheerfully disparaging of his early artwork.<ref>{{#if: “@If_I_fell_: @THEBRYANHITCH are you the same Hitch from the original Death's Head?” I am!

He currently employs a widescreen, photo-realistic drawing style. We got to see this contemporary style used on our favourite robots when he was hired by Titan to provide the cover for the hardcover edition of their End of the Road collection.

The Michael Bay films are things he's an admitted fan of.<ref>{{#if: I want another Transformers movie. Stop it. Look, bloody stop laughing, alright? Fuck off, I liked them.
