Ed Repka is an American illustrator born on October?22, 1960, most renowned for defining the visual look of 1980s thrash and death metal with vivid, apocalyptic album covers for bands like Megadeth (he created their mascot “Vic Rattlehead”), Death, Nuclear Assault, Venom, and many others. A cum?laude graduate from Parsons School of Design with a BFA in illustration, he began painting monsters and horror comics in childhood, later translating that passion into his music-related work. While he’s dubbed the “King of Thrash Metal Art,” Repka actually prefers punk and cites influences from classic sci-fi and monster movie illustrators. In addition to album art, he's served as lead painter and art director for collectible-toys firm NECA, contributed to Hellraiser film designs, and continues producing for modern metal and memorabilia.
