Greg LaRocque has been a working professional artist for more than 30 years.
Starting as an assistant teacher for The Professional Institute of Art in Baltimore,
Maryland when he was just 17 years old. After a brief stint in advertising he
decided to move to New York to pursue his childhood dream of working in comic
books.
He began working for both DC Comics and Marvel in 1980, being one of the 1st
artists allowed to work for both of the major comic companies at the same time.
He has illustrated almost every major character including Spiderman, The
Avengers, Justice League, and Thor. He received his greatest recognition for his
work on Legion of Super Heroes and The Flash.
Greg ventured into the realm of publishing in the mid 1990's, when he formed
Exiled Studios and released the critically acclaimed series "The Exiled", and "Cry
Baby". Greg also worked as a Graphic Designer designing toys, stickers, ads and
other fun stuff for licensed characters such as SpongeBob Squarepants, Looney
Tunes, The Batman, and Justice League. His new color series 'Luna' for
WaterWalker studio premieres this summer. He is currently staying busy with his
studio work and convention appearances. Seems like no matter which road he
takes, Greg ends up back with the comic book heroes he grew up dreaming
about.
