Who's style art is this? I've seen it somewhere outside the Marvel universe

Really like the style and was wondering if it depicted an artist

Don't know who the specific comic artist is you're talking about but they're using what's called "Art Deco" style made popular in the 1920's

Art Deco is an established style of art - so those could be images from several different artists using that style. But if you think it's just one maybe the key word of Art Deco matched with those Comic searches will help you find who you are looking for.

I've tried. Thanks for the tip. I'm not getting any luck. I was hoping an art head would give better insight. I was thinking Shepard Fairey, but not enough similarities

"I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture!"

Whoever the artist is, he is just mimicking art deco... That isn't 'his style'

whoever created this thor poster did not originate this trend. he probably bit it off from an art deco book that was made before he was even born. he may take credit for that specific poster, but he certainly can't take credit for art deco.

art deco has been around for about a century...

both the empire state building and the chrysler building were designed by art deco architects.

the entire batman setting (gotham city) is a fictional clone of new york, which was full of art deco.

Lee Bermejo is the most talented artist in the game (in my opinion)

Alex Ross is also impressive

Ross uses real models, and hand paints everything on canvas... Very time consuming stuff

Dave Stevens did the art for The Rocketeer. I don't know if he did the movie poster itself, but his comics were the inspiration for the Disney movie.

He passed away in 2008, so it's very unlikely he did that Hulk poster.
