Tony Salmons is an underground artist, it turns out. He’s drawn commercial comics but only to critical note. These have been few and far between with most of his professional work on storyboard for film/TV. For the record, he objects categorically to the appellation, “artist’s artist,” like a roadhouse theater troop regards overripe produce.

Salmons regards the current explosive renaissance of comic talent and content the greatest since Silver Age. He’s happy to have placed anywhere in the august line up in modern comics.
