Larry Stroman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Larry Stroman is an American comic book artist best known for his pencils for Epic Comics' Alien Legion (vol. 2) series and regular and guest drawing duties for Marvel Comics' series including The Uncanny X-Men and X-Factor with writer Peter David. He is known for his heavy use of graphic design (which he was originally trained in), unusual and oddly geometric shaping and unusual perspectives. His style created a stylized, unique look for Alien Legion (vol. 2), as well as making his mark as a guest and occasional regular artist for more mainstream comics series. Other credits include DC's Darkstars, Dark Horse Comics' The Mark, and the million selling Image comic Tribe, co-created with writer Todd Johnson. Tribe is the largest African-American created comic of all time. Larry did limited work throughout the last decade such as Jim Lee's Wildcats Annual and Marvel Comics' Heroes Reborn Iron Man. There has been renewed interest in Stroman with a featured mention along with partner Todd Johnson in the Road to Independence book - celebrating Image Comics' 10-year anniversary.

He returned to Marvel Comics in December 2007 with the What If one-shot What-If X-Men: Rise And Fall of the Shi'Ar Empire, followed by the Black Panther Annual #1 with Reginald Hudlin and Ken Lashley. It has been announced that he will be working on X-Factor with Peter David, starting with issue #33^[1].
