Arthur Suydam, born May 18, 1953, is an American comic book artist best known for his visceral, painted covers and interiors on *Marvel Zombies* and *Deadpool*. He began his career in the 1970s, contributing to magazines like *Heavy Metal*, *Epic Illustrated*, and *National Lampoon* before moving into comics. His signature style—a lush, painterly approach that often emphasizes gore and texture—made him a go-to for horror-tinged superhero and licensed work. Suydam’s comic book credits span *Batman*, *Conan*, *Tarzan*, *Predator*, *Aliens*, and *Death Dealer*, but he is most closely associated with the *Marvel Zombies* franchise, where his covers became iconic. He also co-created the *KISS Zombies* series and worked extensively on *Army of Darkness*, *Red Sonja*, and *Vampirella: The Second Coming*. Over a career active from 1974 to 2025, he has been credited as artist, colorist, inker, letterer, and writer on over 70 issues. Suydam’s later work includes *Raise the Dead* and *Mars Attacks / Red Sonja*. He has received multiple industry awards, including the Inkpot Award, and his influence is visible in the blending of fine art techniques with mainstream comic horror.
