DEATHSTROKE BY: Hyperwerks' Karl Altstaetter

This edition of DEATHSTROKE BY comic book industry veteran Karl Altstaetter. Altstaetter has provided one-off art for numerous DC and Marvel Comic titles as well as a number of Image/Extreme/Awesome/Maximum work for Rob Liefeld, notably for his Bloodstrike properties. In addition to his work-for-hire, Altstaetter co-founded the comic book publisher Hyperwerks, known for the titles Deity, Catseye, Saint Angel, and Rostam: Tales of the Shahnameh, which are available digitally by clicking/tapping here. Altstaetter's piece below, simply titled Deathstroke, holds its visual power in the simplicity of its minimal coloring and cloud rendering contrasting with the complex visual detail of both Deathstroke's costume and the dot matrix-like texturing of the sky. If you want to check out more of Altstaetter's artwork, be sure to visually stroll through his DeviantArt gallery at this link.
