Geof Isherwood, born December 4, 1960, is an American artist whose work spans comic book illustration, painting, and sculpture. Over a career stretching from 1984 to 2022, he accumulated credits as artist, inker, and occasional writer across some 245 issues, demonstrating an unusual versatility within the industry.

He made his mark across a notably diverse range of titles. His sustained work on Marvel's Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme brought his detailed draftsmanship to the mystic corners of that universe, while his contributions to Suicide Squad showcased an equal command of grittier, action-driven material. He also spent considerable time in Marvel's war and adventure titles, lending his linework to The 'Nam and Namor, the Sub-Mariner. Perhaps equally telling of his range is his extensive work on Conan the Barbarian and Conan the King, where the demands of sword-and-sorcery storytelling — musculature, dynamic combat, atmospheric shadow — suited his illustrative strengths well.

Across these varied assignments, Isherwood proved himself a reliable and adaptable craftsman capable of moving between superhero mythology, military realism, and pulp fantasy without losing a consistent attention to figure work and visual clarity. His parallel careers in fine art painting and sculpture suggest an artist whose relationship with image-making has always extended well beyond the comics page.
