Visions of an Icon: Wolverine by Nick Postic

Toronto artist Nick Postic’s eerie and photorealistic style is reminiscent of the work of artists such as Bill Sienkiewicz, Tommy Lee Edwards, John Paul Leon and Alex Maleev. His work has appeared on titles such as the Underworld movie adaptation (for IDW), Nothingface (for Digital Webbing), Nightwolf: The Price (for Devil’s Due Publishing), The Impaler (for Image Comics) and Secret Invasion: Home Invasion (for Marvel Comics).

Secret Invasion: Home Invasion was originally presented as an online comic at Marvel.com and was eventually collected in a single trade paperback edition. The Underworld Movie Adaptation was later reprinted as a mini-comic and included with copies of the Underworld special edition dvd.
