A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Alex Ross opens his private sketchbooks to reveal his astonishing pencil an d ink drawings of DC Comics characters, nearly all of them appearing in pri nt here for the first time. Thousands of fans from around the world have trilled to Alex's fully render ed photo-realistic painting of their favorite heroes, but as they may not r ealize, all of those works start as pencil on paper, and the origins of the finished images are rarely seen. Until now. From deleted scenes and altered panels for the epic Kingdom Come saga to pr oposals for revamping such classic properties as Batgirl, Captain Marvel, a nd an imagined son of Batman named Batboy, to unused alternate comic book c over ideas for the monthly Superman and Batman comics of 2008-2009, there i s much to surprise and delight anyone who thought they already know all of Alex's DC Comics work. Illuminating everything is Alex's own commentary, written expressly for thi s book, explaining his though processes and stylistic approaches for the va rious riffs and reimaginings of characters we thought we knew everything ab out but whose possibilities we didn't fully understand. As a record of a pivotal era in comics history, Rough Justice is a must for Alex's legion of fans, as well as anyone interested in masterly comic book imagination and illustration., Near Fine/Near Fine
