Artist At Last

Artist At Last

A retrospective in illustrations from the psychedelic, transcendental mind of one of comics’ most tireless forces. Most Anticipated Graphics Novels For Summer 2025 - Comics Beat Having worked in comics from just about every position and angle over the last 50+ years (including as the editor of the legendary  witzend ), Bill Pearson’s first solo art book collects a decades-spanning body of work, never seen until now. His illustrations dance playfully between monstrous and silly imaginary creatures in the vein of Vaughn Bode, and abstract gems evoking Wassily Kandinsky. If the title rings with humility, it’s only because Pearson is selling himself short. A culmination of a life devoted to comics, Fantagraphics is proud to present  Artist at Last . Full-color illustrations throughout Bill Pearson  got his start as an assistant to Wallace Wood. He was an independent editor and publisher. He lives in Arizona.
