Doug (or Dougie) Braithwaite was encouraged by his high school teacher to become a comic artist. He went to show his work at Marvel UK, when he was only 15 years old. After a try-out, he took courses at the London Cartoon Centre from among others David Lloyd. He eventually made his debut at Marvel UK with a Christmas issue of 'Action Force'.
He then did his first professional work for 2000 AD and A1. He also worked for Marvel UK on titles like 'G.I. Joe'. In the 1990s he worked on several titles DC, including 'Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight', 'Azrael', 'Supermen of America' and 'Green Arrow'. His more recent DC work include 'Justice' with Alex Ross (2007) and 'The Brave and the Bold' with David Hine (2008).
