If you are a fan of Ross, you need to have this book. The book does a great job of looking at Ross' career from his earliest childhood drawings to his influences in art to a very close look at all the major DC projects he had done at the time of the book's creation. But when working on the right project, his work is perfect. His work alone isn't enough to make me pick up a book. Now while I enjoy Ross' work very much, I am not his biggest fan. The universe was trying to tell me something. And I didn't really have a post planned for today. Suddenly Alex Ross had suddenly crept into my consciousness twice. He reminded me about how Ross used that outfit in the mini-series Justice. Before I did flip through it, I read a comment here by blog friend John Feer about the Cliff Chiang 'hot pants' commission.
I hadn't flipped through the book in a while and thought it would feel new to me. I felt it was time to change things up, so the encyclopedia went on the shelf and I put Mythology: The DC Comics Art of Alex Ross down. I also thumb through them during long commercial breaks or when just relaxing.įor the last several months, the DC Comics Encyclopedia was on the table. It is my little way of opening up the idea of comics to non-comics people who visit the house.
You see, I have several 'coffee table' books about comics that I keep on. Serendipity is defined as 'an aptitude to make desirable discoveries by accident' or 'good luck fortune'.
