ESTEBAN MAROTO'S SWORD & SORCERY ART (PART 1)
The great comic artist, Esteban Maroto (b. 1945) hails from Madrid and was one of the European "imports" discovered by Warren. Maroto's first work in the U.S. was in the book, DRACULA 1, published by Warren as a special edition and which had first appeared in the UK under the New English Library imprint.
Maroto was subsequently hired by Warren and quickly became popular with his work appearing in CREEPY, EERIE and VAMPIRELLA over the ensuing years. He is credited with creating the "chain-mail bikini" for Red Sonja, as well as redesigning Satana's costume for Marvel Comics.
Besides drawing horror and supernatural stories, Maroto also was prolific in the Sword & Sorcery genre. Today is the first part of a series of work that was collected in XOTICA: THE ART OF ESTEBAN MAROTO, by S.Q. Productions, Inc. (SQP), who published numerous art books of the likes seen here.
