Larry Stroman’s recent pencil job on What If X-men: Rise and Fall of the Shi’ar Empire marks his return to mainstream comics after a 10 year absence. Everyone remembers the artist from his great work on books like Alien Legion, X-Factor and of course, his creator-owned Tribe through Image Comics.
Shortly after the amazing success of Tribe #1, selling over 1,000,000 copies, Larry and his writing partner Todd Johnson, left Image and continued to publish the book through other venues. There were follow ups to Tribe’s debut and a few free lance jobs here and there, but eventually, Stroman left comics altogether. Now that he’s back, we tracked him down through Marvel editor, Justin Gabrie and invited him on to share a little bit of HISstory.
In our talk, Larry recalls his early interests in art, breaking into comics with some help from Howard Chaykin, X-Factor and the creation and future of Tribe. We also find out what he's been up to these last 10 years and what’s next for him.
**This episode features a small portion of John Sebastian's Welcome Back in honor of the Tribe guy.
