Rob Liefeld is a successful, but controversial artist. A penciler and writer who rose to record-breaking success in the 1990's with titles such as The New Mutants, X-Force, and Youngblood.

Rob Liefeld was different. From your perspective he sucks and that’s the end of the matter. Back then he was a breath of fresh air. And there weren’t dozens of artists just like him around (until about four years later). His work on Hawk and Dove and then New Mutants was really eye catching and unique. And he was hungry.

Rob Liefeld is a successful, but controversial artist. A penciler and writer who rose to record-breaking success in the 1990's with titles such as The New Mutants, X-Force, and Youngblood.

Rob's personality led to a lot of controversy and some bad business dealings. The fans started turning on him. A lot of young fans started to sour on his art. He became a meme.
