We recently caught up with professional Comic Book Artist, Robert Atkins. Many fans have already have seen Atkins’ explosively powerful ThunderCats illustrations, and for those who haven’t, this post will be a real treat.
Atkins is a child of the 80’s and gravitated towards properties that captured his imagination growing up. He’s illustrated for major publishers on such titles as: Legion of Superheroes, Iron Man, Heroes For Hire, The Amazing Spider-Man, G.I. Joe, Snake Eyes, Ultimate Fantastic Four, Forgotten Realms and Elders of the RuneStone.
With ThunderCats no longer being actively marketed, artists like Atkins who are fans themselves won’t find a title to work on, and so drawing a T-Cat becomes a true passion project. Atkins decided to create this incredible set of individual character pieces that also build into a stunning group shot.
What follows are Atkins’ responses to our questions, as well as a gallery of his ThunderCats pieces.
