ITEM# 0052 - The Marvel Art of Marko Djurdjevic

Marko Djurdjevic burst onto the scene from obscurity, a passionate artist sharing his work online. The quality of his illustrations needed no explanation beyond that which was obvious at first glance: the sleekly stylized figure work, his masterful command of colors, and the layers and subtext that formed an essential part of his vision. It was a short trip from anonymity to his current status as one of Marvel’s most compelling cover artists. This lush art book will feature a treasure trove of Marko’s cover illustrations — plus sketches, designs and extensive discussion about the process that has made him one of Marvel’s most popular artists. In collaboration with the artist himself, and with input from his peers, THE ART OF MARKO DJURDJEVIC will be the kind of deluxe art book you’ll be proud to show off to friends and fellow art fans.

ITEM # 0051 The Marvel Art of Savage Sword of Conan

The majestic art of legendary black-and-white magazine THE SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN is presented in an art book worthy of Crom himself! Following the massive success of Marvel’s color CONAN THE BARBARIAN comic, the Hyborian was given his own B&W magazine to better capture the bone-crushing action of the barbarian’s world. Stripped down to pencil-and-inks essentials, Conan took on a new savagery drawn by masters such as Barry Windsor-Smith, John Buscema and Ernie Chan. The series’ fully painted covers featured gorgeous illustrations by Boris Vallejo, Michael Kaluta, Earl Norem and others — while the many pinups and spot illustrations are hidden gems waiting to be rediscovered by Conan fans. With 235 issues in its epic history, there is no shortage of mind-blowing SAVAGE SWORD art!

THE MARVEL ART OF GEORGE PEREZ - 147 PAGES

Celebrating the artistic legacy of a true Marvel Comics legend! George Pérez first wowed fans in the 1970s, building a phenomenal reputation as a super-team illustrator without peer on AVENGERS, INHUMANS and FANTASTIC FOUR! His talents graced the super hero action of MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE, the martial-arts mayhem of DEADLY HANDS OF KUNG FU and the monster madness of Man-Wolf in CREATURES ON THE LOOSE! Years later, Pérez demonstrated his cosmic grandeur by wiping out half the Marvel Universe along with Thanos in INFINITY GAUNTLET! And as the Avengers made a heroic return in 1998, so too did Pérez, joining writer Kurt Busiek to usher Earth’s Mightiest into a new era of greatness. Nobody can draw an army of heroes in a single image better than George Pérez can!

McGuinness reunited with Kelly to team Deadpool with Spider-Man – and together with Jason Aaron, he’s amazed with the X-Men and delivered a truly mighty team of Avengers!
