Val Mayerik was the artist of the Armada comics The Shadow Mage and Wayfarer.

Starting his career working on Conan the Barbarian, Mayerik continued to draw for comics through the 1980s and early 1990s, working on series for Eclipse Comics, First Comics, Now Comics, Pacific Comics, and Harvey Pekar's self-published American Splendor, in addition to Marvel, but was segueing toward more of a career in advertising art and in illustration for the games industry, including the roleplaying game companies TSR, Inc. and Wizards of the Coast. As a spin-off of this, he drew the four-issue Acclaim Comics miniseries Magic: The Gathering — The Shadow Mage (July-Oct. 1995), and then followed this up with Wayfarer (Nov. 1995 - March 1996).

Mayerik is also an off-off-Broadway theater and film actor.[1]
