Comic ArtistPencillerWriter

Liefeld's work is pure kinetic energy: extreme poses, heavy shoulders, everything at maximum. He drew New Mutants and launched X-Force at the peak of the nineties boom, co-created Deadpool and Cable, and co-founded Image Comics.

Erik LarsenLegend

Cartoonist, Comic Artist, Writer

Larsen draws with a cartoonist's looseness and a superfan's affection for old Marvel. He followed McFarlane onto Amazing Spider-Man, then co-founded Image and has written and drawn Savage Dragon almost single-handedly ever since.

Greg CapulloMajor

Comic Artist, Cover Artist, Penciller

Capullo builds bodies like a sculptor and faces that carry real dread. A long run on Spawn led into his Batman work with Scott Snyder, from Court of Owls through Dark Nights: Metal, which set how Gotham looked for a decade.

Marc SilvestriLegend

Comic Artist, Inker, Penciller

Silvestri draws in sharp angles, whipping hair and tense wiry anatomy, a look that defined a stretch of Uncanny X-Men and Wolverine. He co-founded Image Comics and built Top Cow, home to Witchblade, Cyberforce and The Darkness.

Next: L.A. Comic Con, Oct 30 to Nov 1, 2026

Ryan OttleyMajor

Comic Artist, Cover Artist, Penciller

Ottley draws fights that hurt, with bodies breaking and expressions holding nothing back. He drew most of Invincible's run before moving to Amazing Spider-Man and Hulk.

John Romita JrLegend

Artist, Comic Artist, Penciller

Romita builds figures from blocky, weighted shapes that land with real force. Across four decades he has drawn most of the Marvel line, from Amazing Spider-Man and Daredevil to Thor and Uncanny X-Men, plus Kick-Ass with Mark Millar and a run on Superman.

Olivier CoipelMajor

Comic Artist, Cover Artist, Penciller

Coipel gets an enormous amount out of faces and posture, then opens up for spectacle when a story needs it. House of M, Thor and Siege all lean on that mix of close acting and large-scale action.
