Been meaning to pick this up some time ago. The Covers always caught my eye.
>>143352599His art is pretty top notch, I liked his Echo covers in New Avengers echo issues from mids/late 2000s at The Initiative era.
>>143352540okay i'll try and get myself a copy
It seems this one is the cover to this oversized edition.
This guy traces, no?
I read the first arc a while back and remember liking it. I need to give it a re-read. One of the series after that focuses on the other agents with artists from different people. Then he goes into mixed media interiors eventually.The 80s/90s black and white boom was such a good era for comics.
>>143352540Oh yeah, Robin Williams' favorite book
>>143353679Backgrounds remind me of Akira.
