RICHARD CORBEN {1940 - 2020}

WE LOST ONE OF THE GREATS THIS PAST YEAR WITH THE PASSING OF RICHARD CORBEN. 

Richard Corben with death masks of Peter Lorre & Bela Lugosi

Always one of my favourite illustrators and comic book artists, I think he's probably best remembered for his string of horror stories for the Warren titles like CREEPY and COMIX INTERNATIONAL, his creation of Den (seen in the movie HEAVY METAL) and, especially, for his Poe adaptations.  As a belated tribute to this great artist, here is a small gallery of his work.









Possibly Corben's final cover for The Creeps # 28 Feb. 2021

Great art from a great artist. A good legacy to leave behind.

Truly some of the best horror comic art work that exists.
