In 1993 Lieber drew
Hawkman Annual #1. He subsequently drew 20 issues of the monthly
Hawkman series from 1994 to 1995, beginning with issue #5 and ending with issue #27, and at one point, releasing a #0 (which happened between #13 and #14) as a stunt. Lieber's
Hawkman artwork brought him to the attention of Hollywood, where he began doing sketches for the show
Batman. He said: In 1998 Lieber illustrated the four-issue miniseries
Whiteout with writer
Greg Rucka for
Oni Press. The critically acclaimed series, which was described as a "blood-in-the-snow serial killer story", was collected into a
trade paperback, and adapted into a 2009 feature film starring
Kate Beckinsale and
Tom Skerritt. Lieber's
graphic novel Underground, a story about a park ranger trapped in a cavern, was described as a "spelunking thriller" by
Time magazine. In February 2008, Lieber drew a series of illustrations in which characters from the TV show
The Wire were rendered in the style of the TV show
The Simpsons, one of which was named by Alan Sepinwall of
The Star-Ledger and
NJ.com as the "coolest link of the day". Beginning in September 2009 Lieber illustrated the five-issue miniseries
Underground with writer Jeff Parker for
Image Comics. The series, about a spelunking park ranger trapped in a cave, was later collected into trade paperback from in early May 2010. In April 2012
DC/Vertigo published writers Brandon Jerwa and Eric Stephen Trautmann's military thriller graphic novel,
Shooters, which was illustrated by Lieber. In July 2013 Lieber began drawing
Superior Foes of Spider-Man for
Marvel Comics. The series follows a team of hapless, lesser-known villains from the Spider-Man universe. Lieber has received extensive praise for his work on the series, including a nod on
ComicsAlliance's "Best of 2013" list. ComicsAlliance reviewer Dylan Todd says "Lieber’s at the top of his game here, with a mixture of traditional cape comics styling and a more humane point-of-view that reminds you that these are really just people in suits doing dumb, dangerous things and that they can get hurt at any moment." ==Personal life==
