The newest volume of the Modern Masters series looks at the life and work of one of today’s top comic-book artists, Arthur Adams! Arthur

mini-series in 1985 and has remained a star in the field ever since.
His unique style has earned him both the Russ Manning Award and the Eisner
Award, as well as a legion of fans. From super-heroes such as the
X-Men, Fantastic Four, and The Authority, to pop culture icons including
Godzilla, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and even Gumby, Adams’
range of work only adds to his appeal. But it is his energetic
cartooning combined with his painstaking attention to fine detail that
truly amazes his fans and peers alike. Modern Masters Volume 6: Arthur
Adams features an extensive, career-spanning interview lavishly
illustrated with rare and unpublished art, as well as a large
sketchbook section. One look and you’ll agree—Arthur Adams is truly a Modern
Master! Edited by ERIC-NOLEN WEATHINGTON.
