Darick Robertson, comic book artist and writer, is a true living legend in the world of comics, famous for co-creating some of the best-known and most award-winning American comics of the past 30 years: “The Boys,” “Transmetropolitan,” and “Happy!” After creating the “Space Beaver” series in 1986, he began working for DC Comics and Marvel Comics, illustrating “Justice League,” “Wolverine,” “New Warriors,” and “Spider-Man.” In the early 1990s, he designed several characters for Malibu Comics and illustrated the “Ultraforce” series. Returning to DC Comics in the late 1990s, he began collaborating with writer Warren Ellis, with whom he launched “Transmetropolitan” in 1997—a cyberpunk series that became a minor cult phenomenon, appreciated by figures such as journalist Cory Doctorow, actors Patrick Stewart and Robin Williams, and director Darren Aronofsky. Robertson then returned to Marvel to work with Garth Ennis on “Fury,” “Punisher,” and other projects, before going on to illustrate “Wolverine,” “X-Men Unlimited,” and “Nightcrawler.”

In 2006, Robertson left Marvel to co-create “The Boys” with Garth Ennis. Originally published by DC Comics’ WildStorm imprint, the comic moved to Dynamite Entertainment in 2007. Acclaimed by audiences and critics alike, “The Boys” ran for 72 issues between 2006 and 2012, making the New York Times Bestseller List and receiving a nomination for the Eisner Award for Best Series in 2008. Robertson later worked on the classic Batman and Conan series and co-created the miniseries *Happy!* with Grant Morrison. In 2018, Sony Pictures adapted *The Boys* into an Amazon Prime Original TV series airing from 2019 to 2026, which also spawned the spin-off series *Gen V*, launched in 2023, and the upcoming *Vought Rising*. He is currently working on “Necretaceous,” a series written by Tom Taylor featuring zombies and dinosaurs, which is part of the relaunch of DC Comics’ iconic Vertigo imprint.
