- In the 1970s, horror comics were huge — and no one drew werewolves,
swamp creatures, and demonic motorcyclists better than Mike Ploog! Though
already well established in the fields of magazine illustration and animation,
Ploog endeared himself to comics fans with his creepy yet beautiful artwork on
such titles as Werewolf by Night, Ghost Rider, and
Man-Thing. After an all-too-brief stint at Marvel Comics, Ploog returned to
the world of animation and film, working on such classics as
Ghostbusters, Ralph Bakshi's animated The Lord of the Rings,
Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth. Now he's back in comics with the
children's fantasies Abadazad and The Stardust Kid, as well as
The Spirit, and proving he still has the chops.
- Roger Ash and Eric Nolen-Weathington proudly present a true Modern Master:

enormous gallery of commissioned work, and an 8-page color section!
