You may not know his name, but you may recognize his art from many comics: Moon Knight, New Mutants, Elektra: Assassin, Stray Toasters, Daredevil: Love & War, Brought to Light, Voodoo Child, and more.

Here’s the first teaser trailer for Remsy Atassi’s doc Bill Sienkiewicz: That Polish Guy, from YouTube:
“I’m incredibly excited about the documentary; it’s both humbling and nerve-wracking to see my life’s work splayed out on-screen accompanied by observations by so many of my creative heroes. But more, I’m excited because the documentary discusses the obsessive need to make art, as part of the unifying human experience, a drive that defies language, place or even medium of choice. That drive is something we all share and I’m proud, in the words of the great Cormac McCarthy, to carry that fire.” –Bill Sienkiewicz
