Jose Ladronn is a Renaissance man. That's not the total truth however. He's more of a throwback to an older era of comic book artists. His style is incredibly reminiscent of Jack Kirby in his staunch figure drawing. Combined with his exquisite painting skills and dense inclusion of detail, his illustrations can stand alone as works of art themselves. Many may be turned off by the somewhat old-style look of his craft, but I tend to find it fascinating in its draftsmanship and imagination. If only he produced more often, I think I'd buy more of his stuff.
