Nightcrawler #10 (2005) Darick W. Robertson is an American comic book artist whose career spans more than three decades and encompasses over four hundred credited issues across both creator-owned projects and work for Marvel and DC Comics. His most celebrated contributions to the medium are two series he co-created: *Transmetropolitan* (1997–2002), a sardonic science-fiction story set in a dystopian future city, and *The Boys* (2006–2012; 2020), a darkly satirical take on superhero culture. Both titles established Robertson as a distinctive voice in comics willing to push genre conventions in provocative directions.
Detective Comics #1043 (2021) Robertson entered the industry in the late 1980s, with credits beginning as early as 1987. His early work included titles such as *The New Warriors* for Marvel, and he went on to illustrate well-known characters including Wolverine and Nightcrawler, demonstrating a facility with mainstream superhero material alongside his creator-owned output. Later work for DC included *Batman: Fortress*, reflecting the breadth and durability of his commercial appeal.
ORBiT #2 (1990) Across his career Robertson has worked in multiple capacities — as penciler, inker, and writer — bringing a fluid, expressive linework to both gritty realist narratives and larger-than-life action. His collaborations on *Transmetropolitan* and *The Boys* in particular have earned lasting recognition and helped define a strand of socially critical genre storytelling that continues to influence comics today.
