John Buscema: Michelangelo of Comics Deluxe Hardcover Details
Now, for the first time, a comprehensive art book focusing on one of the greatest comic artists commonly referred to by his peers as "The Michelangelo of Comics": John Buscema. This exhaustive look at Buscema's career and art covers every aspect of this legend's work and is generously illustrated with over 200 examples of the master's original art. Over five years in preparation, comics historian Brian Peck interviewed everyone of note who ever worked with Buscema and paints a complete picture of one of the comics most outstanding artists. This hardcover is limited to 300 copies with a special print pencilled by Buscema with inks by Joe Sinnnott.
Reviews
I really enjoyed this tribute to the legendary comic book master; Big John Buscema. Full of great images from his career and facts about his life. I certainly miss seeing his artwork and encourage anybody who enjoyed his work to pick this book up. There are some problems with the writing/editing on the book, but you can tell this was a labor of love. My recommendation is this, if you find writing/editing spoils an art book for you buy the soft cover, if not buy the hard cover. I purchased the soft cover solely because of the better price. I plan to purchase another copy for a gift.
