Pulp Noir Glen Orbik

Glen Orbik grew up in Nevada and later moved to California. He attended the California Art Institute and studied under the school’s founder and renowned illustrator Fred Fixler. When Fixler eventually retired Orbik took over teaching figure drawing classes at the Institute, a post he held until his death in 2015. Glen’s book cover paintings were collected by Alex Ross, Ray Bradbury and Stephen King. In comics, he worked in the late 1990s and early 2000s with a run of covers for Batman: Shadow of the Bat and Vertigo’s American Century. He created covers for Superman: Lex 2000, The Life Story of the Flash and other books. He also painted collectable imagery for Warner Bros./DC Studios, as well as poster work for the Spider-Man and Hulk movies, and has left a considerable legacy of memorable artworks in a much loved genre.
