Mythology – The DC Comics Art of Alex Ross

THE ULTIMATE BOOK FROM THE ULTIMATE COMICS ARTIST!

The best-loved comic characters in the world, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the JLA and many more, are all brought to life by the number one fan-favourite artist working in the medium today, the incomparable Alex Ross.

In this beautiful hardback edition you will enjoy the evolution of Ross’s work, from his early sketches aged three, to his contemporary masterpieces such as Batman: War on Crime and more recently his stunning Smallville covers which he designed exclusively for TV Guide.

This book reveals Ross’s lifelong love of these classic superheroes and his vision — taking you into the studio for a behind-the-scenes look at his creative process, with hundreds of never-before seen sketches, limited edition prints, and prototype sculptures. Ross’s dynamic art combines with Chip Kidd’s kinetic design to make his most memorable stories soar off the page.
