Hughes has worked in comics since 1987, and is noted for a Dave Stevens-influenced style. Initially hired by DC Comics to provide covers for Mister Miracle, Hughes went on to become the regular artist for Justice League of America.

After a stint as writer and artist of the Wildstorm title Gen13, Hughes became the regular cover artist for Wonder Woman for four years, which catapulted him to widespread acclaim and popularity, making him one of the most sought-after artists in the industry.
