Erik Larsen is one of the most popular and richest Comic Book Artist who was born on December 8, 1962 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States.
Erik J. Larsen (born December 8, 1962) is an American comic book artist, writer, and publisher. He gained attention in the early 1990s with his art on Spider-Man series for Marvel Comics. In 1992 he was one of several artists who stopped working for Marvel to found Image Comics, where he launched his superhero series Savage Dragon – one of the longest running creator-owned superhero comics series – and served for several years as the company’s publisher.
In 1990 Erik Larsen replaced Todd McFarlane on The Amazing Spider-Man with issue #329, having previously penciled issues 287, 324 and 327. With writer David Michelinie, Larsen illustrated stories such as “The Cosmic Spider-Man”, “The Return of the Sinister Six” (#334–339) and “The Powerless Spider-Man” (#341–343). He left the title with #350, was succeeded by Mark Bagley with
351. Larsen again succeeded McFarlane on Spider-Man, where he wrote and drew
the six-issue story arc “Revenge of the Sinister Six” (#18–23). Larsen also gained critical acclaim for his work with the character Venom during his time on Amazing Spider-Man. His design of Venom was highlighted during the story “Venom Returns” (#330–#333, #344–347, Annual #25), which introduced signature visual elements to the character such as giving Venom a mouth full of jagged teeth and a reptilian tongue dripping slime. Though his work with Venom was widely lauded and sales were strong, Larsen has gone on record saying he did not enjoy drawing the character and that he found the origin story of both Eddie Brock and the Venom symbiote to be unlikable.
