This is just an excellent book. I love Vince's artwork and storytelling and this is just a superb 'best of' collection. Batman in Scotland is an absolute gem (and is shown in it's entirely here) so for me this is worth the price alone. This guy is one of Scotlands national treasures.
I thought this was going to be more like some of DC's previous art books, with sketches, layouts, and commentary from the artist. We don't get any of that. Instead, this is a collection of short works and a couple longer Batman stories with covers interspersed.Most of the stories (outisde of Grant Morrison's Batman Reborn, which is great) are interesting but not too memorable. But anyone reading this book is reading it for Quitely's art. It's interesting to see how Quitely has gotten better thro...
I believe my first exposure to Frank Quitely's art was most likely in All-Star Superman. At that point I was more interested in the characters than I was in the creative teams so I didn't totally appreciate it. It wasn't until his run on Batman & Robin with Grant Morrisson that I really started paying attention to his work and realized how much I liked it.This art book, like other ones that DC has put out, isn't in my favorite format. Instead of being filled with sketches, and covers, and pages,...
Lays out the development of Quitely's gifts for caricature, crowd work and horror with a thoroughness that'll leave you hunting for a way into the gaps.
This oversized hardcover - perfect for coffee tables - contains a great selection of some of Frank Quitely's earlier stuff, short stories, Batman: Scottish Connection, and the more recent 3-issue run of Batman Reborn with Grant Morrison. I liked most of the stories included in this collection - especially the ones in black & white (from Paradox Press' Big Book of... series of books); also included are a lot of cover art for a number of different series - however, conspicuously absent from these
This is a superb book that collects some of the best art of one of the top 5 modern comic artist.The book is well done in that it mixes cover art and self contained comic stories ( I never knew Quitely drew so many short stories) so it can be read by itself without hardly any knowledge of DC universe needed.As a bonus there are a couple of previously unpublished pieces ( not many to be honest, the best one being the variant for All Star Batman and Robin that was never released and graces the fro...
This is a beautiful book. Wonderfully collects a nice cross section of his work with DC. Collects several stories as well as cover work and man...did I mention it is just beautiful?!
after like halfway through, i stopped actually reading the comics and just flipped through looking at the pictures. it's a good book for if you're interested in comics, like it could maybe be a good intro if you're not sure what you're looking for, but i also felt like they just weren't the best comics that could've been chosen. also, the art style was clearly well done, but not really my favorite style. the low rating is less indicative of the actual quality of the book; ultimately i think it p...
Absolutely outstanding art book.
5 stars for the art but some of the stories are poor or presented without context.
Absolutely fantastic. This showcases magnificent art of Frank Quitely. Rather than putting out only covers and art, DC has included some of the short stories on which Mr. Quitely worked on. I definitely think this is great as most of these stories are out of print. It makes for a good comic book with all of the stories drawn by Mr. Quitely.
This collection is so beautiful I am sad that the Graphic Ink line ended so abruptly (before Jim Lee and Gary Frank's came out). I also have the Darwyn Cooke one which I highly recommend. To start - Quitely's art is not for everyone. I know because I hear other comic lovers say that. However, I have always loved his style. It is unique, it is beautiful to my eye and it evokes emotions in me like almost no other artist. I understand why it isn't for everyone because it is very extreme and differe...
I find graphic novels and art interesting but a little distant and out of reach. Perhaps I was just born too early to completely grasp it. I didn't read much of this and what I did read seemed to be easily forgotten. But my curiosity is still here, so I'll probably try it again soon.
Librote en formato gigante que incluye cronológicamente muchos trabajos de Quitely para DC, incluyendo los del sello Vertigo. Entre otras cosas este tomote incluye: historias para la colección The Big Book of... (del difunto sello Paradox Press), tapas de Flex Mentallo, All Star Superman y otros, e historias de Batman, Batman & Robin, The Kingdom, antologías, etc.
