Alex Ross


Alex Ross takes the sometimes mundane art of comics books to a level undreamed of since, well... since forever. His paintings render super heroes with a raiment that is at once both godly and supremely human. In his relatively short career, he has risen to a pantheon of craftmanship in comics usually reserved for names like Kirby, Eisner, Steranko and Adams. Check out "Marvels" or "Kingdom Come" and prepare to be awed. And from this same brush has come the most wicked political statement about our current president that I have yet seen.

Hi. Linked to you from KisP/SondraK. Looked around.

Noticed not many people seem to leave comments. Probably not many readers.

Wonder why?

Have a nice day.
