Rick Leonardi
Rick Leonardi is a Copper Age artist best known for his penciling on The New Mutants, Cloak and Dagger, Spider-Man 2099, and runs on Spider-Man and Daredevil, where his angular figures and fluid page design gave superhero storytelling a distinct visual rhythm. His work is closely tied to first appearances, early character-defining runs, and 1980s-1990s Marvel and DC books that remain steady points of collector focus.
