Comics Master Lewis LaRosa Unleashes a Barrage of Explosive Covers for FORT PSYCHO by Matt Kindt & Brian Hurtt

Plus: See Inside CARBON BASED, His Deluxe Retrospective Spanning 25 Years of High-Impact, High-Intensity Artwork — Out Now!

Oni Press – the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997 – is proud to release an onslaught of face-melting new covers for FORT PSYCHO – the brand-new, high-intensity, compulsively page-turning maxi-series from Matt Kindt (BRZKR, Mind MGMT) and acclaimed artist Brian Hurtt (The Sixth Gun)—by comics master Lewis LaRosa (Punisher MAX, Bloodshot Reborn). LaRosa’s contributions to FORT PSYCHO will represent his first consistent return to ongoing cover duties for the first time in several years and mark his first all-new project for Oni Press. Get the first look at the next rash of wickedly iconic covers as well as a first peek inside his first career-spanning artbook CARBON BASED: THE ART OF LEWIS LAROSA, out now!

“What a tremendous honor to have a career retrospective of my work!” said artist Lewis LaRosa. “It's quite a ride to look back and see where you started and how you grew and evolved over the years with the opportunities you had. I believe my best work is still ahead of me, and I mean to bring my brutal best to Matt Kindt and Brian Hurtt's brilliant FORT PSYCHO! With CARBON BASED my greatest hope is that it gives anyone who flips through it the sudden urge to pick up a pencil and DRAW!”

Beginning with FORT PSYCHO #1 (of 12) – hitting stands everywhere in August – LaRosa will join series co-creator and interior artist Brian Hurtt on ongoing shelf covers for the shrapnel-laden, nerve-tightening action epic that will soon unravel the many secrets and betrayals of a team of disgraced secret agents … and the truth about the classified island prison where they have been sent to atone for their innumerable crimes. LaRosa’s raw black-and-white artwork will be made available as additional, incentive covers from FORT PSYCHO #1 onward through the series’ long-planned, closely held conclusion.

Since making his professional debut at the dawn of the 21st century, American illustrator Lewis LaRosa has defined himself as one of the most singular masters of the modern comic medium—fusing dynamic reference-based realism, stylized superhero storytelling, and a master’s control of shadow and light to produce a wholly unique, jaw-dropping style that could only be called “carbon based.” In this first-ever career retrospective—spanning over 250 pages of LaRosa’s raw, unexpurgated line art in all of its painstakingly rendered intensity, alongside rarely seen character designs, concepts, and more from Marvel Comics, Valiant Entertainment, Epic Games, BOOM! Studios, Hasbro, Creative Beast Studio, and more—experience the artist’s artistic evolution in all of its stunning detail from series including Bloodshot Reborn, Divinity, Punisher MAX, Savage, Transformers, and more. CARBON BASED: THE ART OF LEWIS LAROSA will feature an all-new introduction by Oni Press president and publisher Hunter Gorinson with page-by-by commentary by LaRosa and former Valiant editor in chief Warren Simons, and appreciations by some of the artist’s most prominent colleagues and collaborators, including Lee Bermejo, Dave Johnson, Matt Kindt, Jeff Lemire, Yanick Paquette, and more.
