Since making his professional debut at the dawn of the 21st century, American illustrator Lewis LaRosa has defined himself as one of the most singular masters of the modern comic medium--fusing dynamic reference-based realism, stylized superhero storytelling, and a master's control of shadow and light to produce a wholly unique, jaw-dropping style that could only be called "carbon based." In this first-ever career retrospective--spanning more than 250+ pages of LaRosa's raw unexpurgated line art in all of its painstakingly rendered intensity, alongside rarely seen character designs, concepts, and more from Marvel Comics, Valiant Entertainment, Epic Games, Hasbro, Mondo, and more--experience the artist's artistic evolution in all of its stunning detail from series including
Bloodshot Reborn, Divinity, Punisher MAX, Savage, Transformers, and more.
Featuring an all-new introduction by Oni Press president & publisher Hunter Gorinson with page-by-by commentary by LaRosa and former Valiant editor in chief Warren Simons, and appreciations by some of the artist's most prominent colleagues and collaborators, including Lee Bermejo, Matt Kindt, Jeff Lemire, and many more.
