MARVEL MONOGRAPH The Art of Mark Brooks Highly Recommended. Mark Brooks' photorealistic art style lends power to every character he depicts. Like Alex Ross, his attention to detail, his very real faces, his action sequences show why he's one of Marvel's top cover artists. But he also excels on interior pages and this shows much of his best two, including a healthy complement of original art and behind-the scenes commentary by Mark himself. Marvel, 2020....More… Item Code: MARMMB Soft Cover, 9x11, 112pg, Partial Color |

But when the villagers of Roundbrook catch wind of the new arrival, they are set on removing Grahame from their midst, no matter the cost.

ALSO AVAILABLE TONY DITERLIZZI DUNGEON DRAWINGS II Portfolio Signed Signed & limited, 100. Highly Recommended. By Tony DiTerlizzi. Self-published by Tony himself in this tiny printing. A return to the days of large-sized portfolios, this offers ten wonderfully fantastic b&w plates.
