It's All About the Image
Mythology: The DC Comics Art Of Alex Ross
Designer: Chip Kidd (photgrapher: Geoff Spear)
$35, published by Pantheon
So? The book touches on each of illustrator Alex Ross' most recognized and favorite creations, from his popular Justice League of America characters (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc.) to his Uncle Sam creation, showing sketches, pencils, and completed works.
Each character receives a page with a quick definition of who they are within the framework of Ross' artistic interpretations. Ross' use of models is also highlighted, displaying costumed real-life individuals, alongside the drawings created from their poses.
There is no story here, just a display of Ross' realistic portraits of heroes. For most, the images are striking enough that they need a second look to make sure they're not photographs. A coffee table book for art aficionados of all kinds, Ross' illustrations seem to have created another standard altogether for comic books.
