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, 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.

Larosa, Lewis: - Born November 1978, Lewis LaRosa is an American artist and illustrator living in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, with his wife and two children. He specializes in comic book and sequential art, character design and concept art, and his favorite, paleoart. Lewis is a dinosaur himself in the sense that his work is strictly traditional, encompassing a mix of pencil, pen, marker, ink wash, and paint on board. He earned a bachelor's degree in studio art from Kennesaw State University, where he spent extensive time drawing and painting from life. Published internationally for over 20 years, notable projects include reinventing the Punisher for Marvel Comics, which influenced the character's subsequent movies and TV shows; Bloodshot for Valiant Comics, which earned him a credit in the motion picture; and Fortnite loading screens for Epic Games.
