Hall has worked on many of Marvel’s books and characters including penciling for The Champions, Spiderman, Thor, What If, Doctor Strange, New Mutants, Team Up, The Fantastic Four, The Avengers, Emperor Doom and the movie books for Willow. He also worked on Darkman and the notorious first Captain America film. He co-created The West Coast Avengers and Squadron Supreme and drew the Spiderman/SNLTeam-Up. Hall was also an editor for Marvel in 1978.

For Valiant/Acclaim Comics, he wrote and penciled Shadowman, wrote Timewalker and created the “comic book-noir” series Armed and Dangerous. For DC, he wrote and drew the graphic novels, Batman DOA, I, Joker and It’s Jokertime and did issues of Batman and Chase. Since then, he has done a variety of work, including working for Future Comics, a Platinum Kiss Comic, the new Valiant and doing covers for Marvel. Recently he created an educational/fantasy comic about the measles virus, Carnival of Contagion, mosquitoes in Mosquitoes Suck, and a weekly comic page for kids on COVID, called C’rona Comix.
