“Long before Alex Ross, Bob Larkin became the first major painter to be known for superhero covers thanks to his work on Marvel’s black & white magazine covers throughout the 1970s.”

There are innovators who blaze trails to show the way forward, and creative genius Bob Larkin is certainly one of them. His magazine and paperback covers are both legendary and iconic. From Conan to Star Wars, Doc Savage to The Hulk, there are few pop culture touchstones that artist Bob Larkin hasn’t brought his unique and powerful style of illustration to.
This full-color retrospective of over 100 paintings, exquisitely produced in an oversized format, also includes an introduction by artists Joe Jusko (Warlord of Mars, Vampirella) and an afterword by Alex Ross (Marvels, Kingdom Come).

“Larkin’s importance in his field can be judged by the fact that Joe Jusko is providing the introduction to this volume and Alex Ross is writing the afterword. His paintings were very influential on the current generation of cover artists.”
