Obviously if you like Adam Hughes' art or if you like pin-up style, good girl art, or DC superhero women in glamorous style covers, you'll probably like this oversized hardcover volume. Good as a coffee table book or for one's shelf of comic art books.

I enjoyed this overview of Hughes' artwork on the covers of DC Comics over a 20+ year time period. Some of Hughes' work is exceptional, and I share his admiration for Mucha, Rockwell, and many other of his sources of inspiration. I loved his compositions, color schemes, figure work (even if they do tend to focus a little too much on t-and-a), and overall artistry. I only wish that his covers were complemented by more actual comic storytelling beyond the covers of the books.

Strangely enough, I'm not a huge DC Comics fan (nothing against them, I just never got into them as much as I did Marvel's titles when I was in those oh-so-important formative years), but the gorgeous pic of Catwoman on the cover caught my eye when I happened to ahve some extra cash on me, so I picked this coffee table book up.Very, very glad I did. I love collecting collections of art that could inspire me when my own imagination is lagging, and this book has plenty of that. Though the art focu...

Adams Hugues is arguably in the top three of best cover artists these last years and imho the best there is in good girl art fashion.As the title says, this book is only dedicated to his DC covers, mainly Wonder Woman and Catwoman for a good 75%, and it is simply awesome.Covers are full page without logos and whatnots, preceded by a small text by AH! (very funny most of the time-the guy sounds very, very likeable) with concepts, thumbs and roughs.Not much else to say; either you like AH!'s art a...

This book exceeded expectations. It is a beautiful collection of art. Hughes commentary is even more valuable: he is a self-taught artist (!) and he shares some very useful thoughts on his approach to his professional development and some concrete information about his technique. I want a volume of his Marvel work...he was doing covers for X-Men Classic when I started collecting so he was one of my first artist crushes.

Naturally you should be a Hughes fan before checking out this book. It has some commentary, some notes on process (including preliminary drawings), some humor, but I do sort of wish there was less white space on the pages and just more big honking art. What is there is lovely, of course.

A Christmas present from my wonderful wife! (2010) Adams is always worth savoring. His art is gorgeous and full of humor! Doesn't hurt that he chooses his subjects well --- supernaturally beautiful women all of them.Lucky for me my wife isn't at all jealous. She knows I love her more than any other woman EVER whether they are fact or fiction.

Catwoman section is better.

Reading through this book was a delight, to say the least. Eye candy everywhere. Adam Hughes throws cheeky little comments in with his lessons learned and back-stories to different pieces - quite a few of which he underestimated his looming deadlines for. There isn't too much writing, and there's plenty of art. Just the way it should be. Like the cover says, included are mostly covers he's done, but there are also a few pages on busts/statues. This'll look great on display and anyone can appreci...

I'll come back and actually read it this week (I swear) but just on a quick flip-through for the artwork, this is a gorgeous collection. Includes Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Supergirl, Batwoman, Zatanna, and a few others. Great stuff. I love Hughes's use of color and posing. The Catwoman mugshot is still the best cover I've ever seen.

Nice. Additionally, there are also pencil sketches and layout that look and feel as good. And every cover comes with insightful commentary f

Terrific art book. Though I wish it collected every single cover Mr. Hughes did for DC Comics.

Cover Run: The DC Comics Art of Adam Hughes is a fantastic coffee table book showcasing the incredibly talented Adam Hughes. The bulk of the book is primarily on his Wonder Woman and Catwoman run of covers that were very well received by fans and artists alike. If you know anything about Mr. Hughes, you will definitely have an idea of just how popular he is within the art community and how popular the covers were, which always had people buzzing with excitement and anticipation of what he could

Adam Hughes is surprisingly more than just a "breast" artist which was my first impression from the big-knockers he draws of Wonder Woman and Catwoman covers. He's an artist with delicate tastes that reflect his love of Alphonse Mucha and Drew Struzan, which come across when you begin to plod through this cover collection highlighting all his work at DC comics. Which each cover, Hughes gives a little commentary that feels at times a bit dry, as he just whines about things he didn't like drawing,...

Next to Alex Ross, Adam Hughes is one of my all-time favorite comic book cover artists. Sure, Ross many be the more ubiquitous of the two, as it seems that he has nearly half a dozen covers published every month. (And that fact alone earns him more than your average comic book artist does on a single 30-some page monthly title.) But Hughes succeeds in sexiness where Ross excels in the heroic. What’s initially surprising in the first pages of this DC Comics cover art collection is just how much o...

A lovely book with Adam Hughes' renditions of Wonder Woman, Power Girl and Catwoman. Equally welcome are his comments about his craft, his compositions and his ideas about a complete illustration allowing the reader to gather more insight to his character. As with many artists, Mr Hughes, is too hard on himself and has exacting standards.

This 200-page oversized hardcover is a feast for the eyes, with the best of Adam Hughes' DC covers (up to 2010, the year the book was published). With an introduction by the artist, as well as a running commentary for each of the featured covers, this is a fantastic behind-the-scenes look at the evolution and thought-process of one of the comic book industry's foremost cover artists.Thanks, Adam! We need more books like this!

Exactly as promised: 200 pages of Adam Hughes' cover art (notably Wonder Woman and Catwoman). His ladies are way busty, but his color theory, composition, sense of humor, and command of the human figure are so good, I've decided not to care. Gorgeous work!His writing is also pithy, self-deprecating, and very, very funny.Now, I must just look up his magical illustration method...to the Google!

An amazing collection of cover art that was done for DC Comics. In particular, the Wonder Woman and Catwoman titles. Each cover is presented with sketches and an often humorous anecdote by Hughes himself. Also included is other cover projects and artwork for statuettes and tee shirts. This book shows why Hughes is a master at drawing the female form!
