Art Thibert is an American comic book artist born in 1961, recognized primarily as a freelance inker whose career spans nearly four decades of prolific output across the industry's major publishers. He is perhaps best known for his inking work on Marvel's X-Men family of titles during the 1990s, a period when those books sat at the center of mainstream comics culture.

Thibert's career, which began around 1987, has proven remarkably versatile — while inking remains his core contribution, his résumé includes significant penciling credits and even some writing work. Over the course of more than 800 credited issues, he has lent his hand to an impressive range of titles, including Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate X-Men, Fantastic Four, Trinity, and Outsiders, demonstrating an ability to adapt across both Marvel and DC's publishing lines and across a variety of genres and storytelling styles.

That sustained presence across so many titles and so many years speaks to a steady professionalism that has made Thibert a reliable and respected figure in the craft of comic book production. Though inkers often work quietly behind the scenes, shaping the final look of a page without claiming the spotlight, Thibert's body of work represents a substantial contribution to the visual identity of some of the most widely read comics of his era.
