Glenn Fabry is a British comics artist known for his detailed, realistic work in both ink and painted colour. Most of his career unfolded in British and American comics, and his painted colour work is one of the hallmarks of his output.

His career began in 1985 with drawings for Slaine in 2000 AD, written by Pat Mills, with whom he also worked on the newspaper strip Scatha in 1987. Painted work followed in Crisis, Revolver and Deadline. In 1991 he took over painting the covers of Hellblazer, then written by Garth Ennis, a role that earned him the Eisner Award for Best Cover Artist in 1995. He continued working with Ennis, painting covers for the Vertigo series Preacher and drawing Ennis-written stories in The Authority and Thor.

In 2003 he drew a story for the Sandman anthology Endless Nights, and in 2005 he worked on the comics adaptation of Gaiman's novel Neverwhere with writer Mike Carey. His most recent work includes the Vertigo title Greatest Hits, written by David Tischman.
