Richard Corben

Richard Corben was an American underground and fantasy artist whose lush airbrushed colour and grotesque figuration made him a singular voice in the medium. Rising through the underground press in the 1970s, he achieved international recognition with Den, first published in Heavy Metal magazine. Corben's later career included a sustained creative relationship with Hellboy creator Mike Mignola on several prestige miniseries, as well as adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe and H. P. Lovecraft. He was inducted into the Eisner Hall of Fame.
