About the Artist:
Rob Liefeld is a self-taught artist who came to prominence in the early 1990s due to his work on Marvel Comics' The New Mutants and later X-Force. In 1992, he and several other Marvel illustrators left the company to found Image Comics, which rode the wave of creator-owned comic books with the first book being published Liefeld's Youngblood #1.
Liefeld art style has proven critically divisive in the past. He has been criticized for drawing figures with exaggeratedly muscular anatomy and an improbable profusion of weapons, accessories and pouches. On the one hand, these trademarks were seen as the impetus for his initial success, when such affectations were unusual in comics. He turned comic book characters into "very cool toys". But the approach later became considered a cliche and led to a widespread hostility towards the style.
