Sam de la Rosa
Sam de la Rosa is a Copper Age artist and inker best known for his work on Spider-Man-related titles, particularly Venom: Lethal Protector, where his linework became closely associated with early Venom-era imagery. His name is often linked by collectors to late 1980s and early 1990s Marvel books that reflect the period's shift toward darker, more heavily rendered superhero art and sustained collector focus on Venom material.
