In recent years, Croatian illustrator Esad Ribić has become synonymous with blockbuster comics. After training as a graphic designer in Zagreb, he found work in the Croatian and German magazine industries and as an animator for Zagreb Film.
In 2004 he made his US comics debut illustrating Marvels LOKI series. Since then, Esad has become a firm fixture at Marvel and a huge fan favourite. His work on Jonathan Hickman’s THE ULTIMATES and Jason Aaron’s THOR: GOD
OF THUNDER cemented his reputation as one of modern comics’ greats. In 2015 Esad teamed up with Hickman again on the lead book in Marvel’s blockbuster SECRET WARS crossover event where his epic style perfectly complemented this huge story.
This summer, Esad’s work will feature in another huge Marvel event, ALIENS VS. AVENGERS, pitting Earth’s Mightiest Heroes against HR Giger’s Xenomorphs. Esad will be with us all weekend.
