By Gle Cadigan. Art and cover by Dave Cockrum. Introduction by Alex Ross.

From the letters pages of Silver Age comics to his 2021 induction into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame, the career of Dave Cockrum started at the bottom and then rose to the top of the comic book industry.

Beginning with his childhood obsession with comics and continuing through his years in the Navy, The Life and Art of Dave Cockrum follows the rising star from fandom (where he was one of the "Big Three" fanzine artists) to pro-dom, where he helped revive two struggling comic book franchises: the Legion of Super-Heroes and the X-Men. A prolific costume designer and character creator, his redesigns of the Legion and his introduction of X-Men characters Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Thunderbird (plus his design of Wolverine's alter ego, Logan) laid the foundation for both titles to become best-sellers. His later work on his own property, The Futurians, as well as childhood favorite Blackhawk and T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents, plus his five years on Soulsearchers and Company, cemented his position as an industry giant.

Featuring artwork from fanzines, unused character designs, and other rare material, this is THE comprehensive biography of the legendary comic book artist, whose influence is still felt on the industry today! Written by Glen Cadigan (The Legion Companion, The Titans Companion Volumes 1 and 2, Best of the Legion Outpost) with an introduction by Alex Ross.

Comprising some of the most sought-after and valuable comic art in the world, variant covers are a time-honored tradition in comics publishing.

The variant cover phenomenon began in 1986 and was immediately embraced by fans everywhere; it was then bolstered in 1991 by Marvel Comics' X-Men #1 setting the world record for the best-selling comic of all time. The variant cover has become a regular part of Marvel Comics' diverse output, with a spectacularly creative set of alternate covers being created for many key issues.

Edited by John Rhett Thomas. Art and cover by Ed McGuinness.

The powerful pencils of Ed McGuinness spectacularly combine all the energy of classic comics artwork with 21st-century flair - establishing him firmly as one of Marvel's modern masters!

McGuinness first caught the eyes of True Believers with his collaboration with Joe Kelly on DEADPOOL, which helped propel the Merc with a Mouth to superstardom. But the artist's larger-than-life visuals were never more bombastic than in his work with Jeph Loeb on HULK! McGuinness reunited with Kelly to team Deadpool with Spider-Man - and together with Jason Aaron, he's amazed with the X-Men and delivered a truly mighty team of Avengers!

Now McGuinness' unmistakable interpretations of all these heroes - and more - leap from the pages of this action-packed artist study!
