His first published comic work was Spider-Man: Legend of the Spider-Clan #5, published by Marvel in 2003. He was a guest at the 2006 edition of the Big Apple Comic Con's National Comic Book, Art, Toy & Sci-Fi Expo. Randolph illustrated cards for the Chaotic Trading Card Game, released in 2007, alongside frequent collaborator Emilio Lopez. Randolph worked on We Are Robin, which launched in June 2015, with writer Lee Bermejo and artist Rob Haynes, which detailed multiple teenagers in Gotham City who take up the mantle of Robin. From 2013 to 2015, he created covers for DC Comics' Batman Beyond Universe. In 2016, Randolph created covers for Black Mask Studios' Black.
