Promising “rebellion and portrayal,” famed comic creator and Image partner Rob Liefeld and his publisher, BenBella Publishing, have announced that a Liefeld autobiography will be released in early 2025. Titled Robservations, the upcoming book will include behind-the-scenes anecdotes, reflections on his career-defining decisions, revelations of the inner workings of comic book publishers, and 10 original Liefeld illustrations.
“Having been fortunate to break into the business as a teenager in the 80s, I’ve seen five decades of tremendous change, quite a bit of upheaval, and a fair amount of rebellion and betrayal,” Liefeld said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “Some of which I started. It’s been quite a ride, and I’m eager to share this incredible ride with everyone.”
