Robin Riggs is a British-born comic book artist whose career has centered primarily on inking for the two dominant American publishers, Marvel Comics and DC Comics. Born in 1961, Riggs built a steady and prolific presence in mainstream superhero comics over three decades, with credits spanning artist, colorist, and inker roles across some 219 issues between 1992 and 2022.

He is perhaps most closely associated with titles such as *Supergirl*, *The Incredible Hulk*, *Green Arrow*, *Birds of Prey*, *Hulk*, and *Bloodhound* — a range that reflects his comfort working across both the DC and Marvel universes. As an inker, Riggs occupied a craft-focused role, translating pencilers' work into finished line art and contributing significantly to the visual texture and clarity of each book he touched. That kind of collaborative, behind-the-scenes contribution is often underappreciated by casual readers, yet it shapes the look of a series as much as any other single element.

Over the course of his career, Riggs demonstrated consistent reliability across a wide variety of titles and genres, from street-level adventure to cosmic superhero fare. His longevity in an industry that churns through talent quickly speaks to a professionalism that kept him in steady demand well into the 2020s.
