Thank you for your patience, and I hope you enjoy the feature!

Welcome, my CryptoComics Compatriots! We’re beyond excited to spotlight the incredible Chad Hardin this week. Chad is an artist whose talent has left a major impact on the comic industry, particularly through his work at DC Comics, where his art brought fan-favorite characters to life in ways that readers won’t soon forget.

Chad's artistic journey kicked off when he graduated from Southern Utah University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. After that, he further honed his craft at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. His big break came when he began working with DC Comics, and the rest, as they say, is history!

At DC, Chad made a name for himself through his work on several major titles, with one of the most pivotal being Harley Quinn. His fresh take on Harley gave the character a lively and rebellious energy that helped define her modern look. Fans couldn’t get enough of the way Chad captured Harley’s chaotic spirit while still keeping her relatable and fun. He also worked on The Warlord, a series that let him show off his skills with dynamic action sequences and rich, fantastical world-building. These projects solidified Chad as one of the go-to artists for characters with both attitude and depth.

Chad Hardin is known for his incredible attention to detail, and it’s no secret that he loves to sneak little surprises into the backgrounds of his artwork. It’s almost like playing a game of “Where’s Waldo” every time you open a comic he’s worked on! Whether it’s a hidden Easter egg or a clever reference tucked away in the corner, Chad’s fans have come to expect that extra layer of fun in his art. So, next time you’re admiring one of his pages, don’t forget to scan the background—you never know what secrets he’s hiding!

Now, let’s talk about Chad’s work on CryptoComics! He’s brought his unique style to Temerity Issue 1 and Issue 2, a sci-fi adventure series full of mercenaries, wild missions, and some serious laughs. The action-packed story follows Taeru and his ragtag crew as they face danger across the galaxy. Chad’s energetic artwork perfectly captures both the high-flying action and the hilarious moments that make Temerity a fan favorite.
