Coming Up: 'Marvel Universe by Arthur Adams Omnibus'
Out in December. Order now from Amazon.
Details:
Like all great comic-book artists, Arthur Adams earned his way in through long, hard work - by hitting the pavement with his portfolio in hand. But it didn't seem that way. Adams seemed to burst out of the clear blue sky with an avalanche of unbelievable artwork. Energetic, richly detailed, full of character and just plain fun, his art merged East and West - bringing manga influences to American readers and influencing a generation of future artists. Now, this Omnibus collects Adams' complete Marvel work from the 1980s through the early 1990s in one volume! From Longshot to the X-Men to the New Fantastic Four; from covers galore to pinups, posters and trading cards - not to mention a huge trove of pencils and original art - this is your be-all, end-all Arthur Adams Omnibus! Collecting LONGSHOT #1-6, NEW MUTANTS SPECIAL EDITION #1, X-MEN ANNUAL (1970) #9-10, CLOAK AND DAGGER (1985) #9, X-FACTOR (1986) #41-42, EXCALIBUR: MOJO MAYHEM and FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #347-349 - plus material from WEB OF SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #2, X-MEN ANNUAL (1970) #12 and #14, FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #358, and MARVEL HOLIDAY SPECIAL (1991) #1.
