Batman, X-Men, Blade, Luke Cage and Storm; they are some of the hottest characters to originate in comic books and then hit the silver screen. Not so common is the name Shawn Martinbrough; but he is the artist who has drawn many of these characters for DC and Marvel Comics. Martinbrough, who earned his degree in illustration from NYC’s School of Visual Arts, is one of the few Black artists drawing for Marvel Comics. He has even released his own book for budding illustrators about his distinct style titled, “How to Draw Noir Comics: The Art and Technique of Visual Storytelling.”
BET News sat down with Martinbrough to get his thoughts on being one of the few African-American illustrators in the industry, and how he has reached back to help others pursuing careers in his field.
