Salvador Larroca (/ləˈroʊkə/) is a Spanish comic book artist, primarily known for his American work on various X-Men titles for Marvel Comics.
After starting his career as a cartographer, Larroca transitioned to working as a comics artist in the 1980s at Marvel UK, contributing to Dark Angel and Death's Head II. He then did work in North American comics, including DC Comics' Flash and Marvel Comics' Ghost Rider, Heroes Return, Fantastic Four, The Invincible Iron Man, and various titles related to the X-Men franchise and Ultimate Marvel imprint.
Larocca has also provided artwork for Marvel's spinoffs and licensed books, such as Star Wars in the 2010s and Alien in 2021. His work on the former attracted criticism for his heavy reliance on tracing stills from Star Wars films, resulting in an "awkward hyperrealism" that was likened to the uncanny valley effect.[1][2]
