Epic Illustrated #19 - Jim Steranko cover

Jim Steranko

Epic Illustrated v1 #19, 1983 - Posed against a blood red sky, Jim Steranko's barbarian clutches his broadsword, braced for battle. The detail and modeling of the figures are carefully crafted. The painting elicits excitement, aided by the fiery color palette. Steranko did little work for comics during this time period, making this a rarity. Other artists in this issue include Kent Williams, Carl Potts and Terry Austin. This is number 1 of 1 Epic Illustrated issues with Steranko art and/or covers.
