The Art of Luis Garcia

Summary

From his humble beginnings in Spain, Luis Garcia became one of the brightest stars to illustrate comics around the world. He catapulted to worldwide fame when he began illustrating for Warren’s Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella before becoming a pioneering publisher and graphic novelist on his own.   Follow his artistic growth from romance artist to romance model, from storyteller to existential explorer, from publisher to portrait painter.   For the first time ever, Garcia’s astounding work is explored, often in the artist’s own words, in this career-spanning work. Three of his strips have been translated into English for the first time giving you fresh insights into one of the most atmospheric, dynamic artists of the 20th Century.
