SDCC ’26: Watch the trailer for Bill Sienkiewicz documentary THAT POLISH GUY
Article excerpt
ComicBookPros released the first trailer for Bill Sienkiewicz documentary That Polish Guy at San Diego Comic-Con.
Very few comic book artists have changed the game in terms of artistry quite like Bill Sienkiewicz . With his iconic work on titles such as Elektra: Assassin , Moon Knight , N ew Mutants , and so much more, he has blown away audiences with his paintings that show comic books are not just juvenile but can be one of the greatest mediums to express artistic vision.
Now, Sienkiewicz is the subject of the brand new documentary, That Polish Guy. At San Diego Comic-Con, ComicBookPros released the first trailer for the project.
That Polish Guy features fellow comic artists and writers such as Jim Lee , Kevin Smith , Jimmy Palmiotti , and even prominent actors and illustrators like Vincent D’Onofrio and Peter Ramsey . All of them will speak about how Sienkiewicz’s work has revolutionized comic book art and influenced the broader art world.
The film is directed by Remsy Atassi and produced by Sal Abbinati , whose work includes The Legend of Kingdom Come .
“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,” said Sienkiewicz. “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.”
