Trevor Hairsine is a British comics artist whose densely rendered, cinematic linework has drawn comparisons to Bryan Hitch. Though his exact birth date and birthplace are not documented in available records, his career stretches back to at least 1994 and remains active as of 2025, spanning more than 168 credited issues across the industry's major publishers.
Hairsine broke in through the storied British anthology 2000 AD, which served as a proving ground before he transitioned to American superhero work. That move brought him to Marvel Comics, where his reputation grew steadily enough that in August 2005, Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada singled him out as one of the publisher's "Young Guns" — a curated group of artists identified as future marquee pencillers. Among his notable Marvel credits is X-Men: Deadly Genesis, a key chapter in mutant continuity.
He later brought his detailed approach to DC Comics, contributing extensively to the DCeased line — including the core series and its sequels Dead Planet and War of the Undead Gods — where his work on large-scale horror-action sequences found a strong readership. He also worked on the eclectic title Killapalooza. No major industry awards are currently on record, but his longevity and consistent presence across three decades speak to a durable professional standing within mainstream comics.
