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.

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.

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.
