Hughes was born in Riverside, New Jersey.
He was mostly self taught and started his career at the age of 19. In 1987, he penciled two short stories and the first issue of the cult favorite character, Death Hawk, created by Mark Ellis. In 1988 Hughes' work appeared in Comico's Maze Agency with co-creator/writer Mike W. Barr, and stayed on the book for one year.
When Maze Agency was canceled by Comico, DC Comics offered the young talent Justice League America. He did both covers and internal renditions on that series for 2 years, before switching to providing covers only.
He was one of the original members of Atlanta's Gaijin Studios, his tenure lasting from 1991 until 2005.
Hughes then had a short stint at Dark Horse Comics working on Ghost. This series was an important run for him, as this is where he started adjusting his technique, using an art nouveau influence along with Adobe Photoshop in his work.
In between he has had stints on Penthouse Comix, Legionaires and PlayStation Magazine.
In 1998 he began a successful 4-year run as cover artist on DC Comics Wonder Woman which brought him critical acclaim. He had successful runs on Tomb Raider from Top Cow Comics, and wrote and illustrated the interiors of the two-issue miniseries, Gen¹³: Ordinary Heroes from Wildstorm. He is currently one of the most sought after cover artist in the industry.
When Wizards of the Coast created their d20-based Star Wars RPG, he created designs for both the original and revised core rulebooks, as well as the Star Wars: Invasion of Theed adventure game mini-RPG, such as portraits for the iconic characters. When he reused his portrait of the iconic Jedi guardian (his favorite character) for a Star Wars comic book cover as a gag, there was such editorial interest that she was written into the story as one of Darth Vader's early victims.
It has recently been announced that Hughes will write and illustrate the upcoming DC Comics series, All Star Wonder Woman.
