Salvador Larroca is a prominent Spanish comic book artist, renowned for his extensive work in the American comic industry, particularly for Marvel Comics. His artistic journey began following a stint as a cartographer, after which he ventured into comics in the 1980s at Marvel UK. Larroca's early contributions were seen in titles such as Dark Angel and Death's Head II.

Larroca's talent eventually brought him to North American comics, where he left his mark on The Flash for DC Comics and several Marvel Comics series including Ghost Rider, Heroes Return, Fantastic Four, The Invincible Iron Man, and a variety of X-Men and Ultimate Marvel series. His notable works include Iron Man, Ultimate Elektra, X-Treme X-Men, and Ghost Rider.

Expanding his repertoire, Larroca provided artwork for Marvel spinoffs and licensed titles such as Star Wars and Alien. However, his approach to the Star Wars series drew criticism for a tracing technique that led to a distinctive hyperrealism, sparking debates around the uncanny valley effect. Despite the mixed reactions, Larroca's contributions to the industry have been significant, earning him an Eisner Award in 2009, along with writer Matt Fraction, for their work on the new Iron Man series—a first for a Spanish artist. This honor followed an earlier nomination for a Spider-Man annual.
