SPOTLIGHT ON THE COMIC-BOOK COVER ARTIST, RYAN G. BROWNE

Ryan G. Browne, otherwise known as Zombiepetz_rgb, is a professional artist from New York who has illustrated covers for most of the major comic-book publishers, including DC Comics, Image Comics, Skybound Entertainment, and IDW Publishing. His artistic journey began in his teenage years when he studied Graphic Design and Commercial Art at his local college. He then spent over a decade working in a variety of art-related jobs, ranging from graphic designer to tattoo artist, until Ryan landed a role with a major comic-book publisher. This breakthrough occurred when 'The Walking Dead' TV show was at the peak of its popularity, inspiring him to draw and share several zombie-themed pictures that led to his first paid comic-book gig. Before long, he moved away from drawing zombies and veered towards illustrating comic-book covers. What now follows is a selection of Ryan's favorite covers from those he drew himself. Please enjoy.
