Arthur "Art" Thibert is a comic book artist, primarily known as a freelance inker, although he has a substantial resumé as a penciler and has even written some comics. Thibert is best known for his work as an inker for Marvel Comics on their various "X-Men" titles during the 1990s.

Freelance inker

Thibert broke into comics in 1986, as an inker for WaRP Graphics' "Myth Adventures". He truly latched on to the industry in 1989, becoming regular inker (over Dan Jurgens' pencils) for DC's "The Adventures of Superman" until 1991.

From 1991–2004 (with a break from 1993–1995), Thibert inked almost exclusively for Marvel, many of those years spent on their X-Men titles. He inked "X-Factor" for much of 1991, and was the regular inker of "" vol. 2 in 1992.

From 1993–1995, Thibert associated himself with the "upstart" Image Comics, where he primarily inked covers, for such titles as "Spawn", "Supreme", "Team Youngblood", and "Brigade".

Returning to Marvel, Thibert inked Carlos Pacheco on ' vol. 2 from 1996–1998. He also returned to "X-Factor" in 1997. In addition, during the 1990s Thibert inked over twenty issues of "The Uncanny X-Men". From 1999–2000, Thibert inked virtually the entire run of ' (over penciller Georges Jeanty). He was the regular inker of "Ultimate X-Men" in 2001 (over Adam Kubert), and again from 2003–2004 (over David Finch).

Other regular inking duties Thibert performed during this period included "Fantastic Four" vol. 3 (over Salvador Larroca) from 1998–2000; and "Ultimate Spider-Man" from 2000–2004 (over Mark Bagley's pencils) from 2000-2004.

In 2005, Thibert moved back to DC, where he inked the "Outsiders" from 2005–2007, mostly over Matthew Clark's pencils. During this period he also penciled and inked covers for "The Flash". In 2007, Thibert was the regular inker of ""; and in 2008 he returned to inking Mark Bagley on DC's "Trinity" title.

Creator-owned projects

In 1994, Image also published three issues of Thibert's own title "Black and White".

In 2004, Image published one issue of Thibert's creator-owned series "Chrono Mechanics" (co-written with Rich Birdsall), a light-hearted adventure series about four very different personalities (human and otherwise) that were brought together to "fix" time.
