To celebrate the release of My Hero Academia: World Heroes’ Mission, Funimation has revealed that legendary comic book artist Ryan Stegman has created a bespoke vision of Deku that effortlessly captures the comic book DNA of the My Hero Academia universe in his signature style.
Best known for his work on Marvel Comics’ characters including Spider-Man and Venom, Ryan adds “I’m a long time manga fan and My Hero Academia came onto my radar a few years back. Since then my kids and I have been obsessed and it’s an honor to get to work on the characters!”
You can catch Stegman drawing Deku live on the StegmanAndFriends YouTube channel and via his Twitch channel with an interactive fan Q&A on Saturday 6th November, 4PM GMT.
