A real treat for process hounds! -- Liam Sharp I love this book! A masterful look at the Masters of comics and illustration storytelling. -- Mark Chiarello, former Art Director, DC COMICS I took a pleasant stroll through Joel's new book, Master of Comics, while sitting at my desk at Weta Workshop. As my eyes wander through the spaces where these master artists work, I'm warmed to see that I'm not alone in my ceaseless collecting of inspirational objects. Mine is a busy shared space surrounded by nearly buckling shelves filled with art, pop and comic culture sculptures that I've collected over the years. Many of the characters in this book (the ones in the comics, not the artists themselves!) also look back at me from these shelves. Superman, Hellboy, Hercules. These cultural icons have become both subject and muse for so many of us! Master of Comics is a terrific read for anyone interested in the characters who create the characters we love. It's a story about the private rituals that set creative people apart and the beliefs that bring them together. Reading Joel's interviews with these master craftspeople reminds us that while creative inspiration is as unique as each artist's workspace, there are some things that all creative people share: a boundless enthusiasm for the project on the easel, pad, screen or, in my case, workbench; a clarity of vision; and a love of bringing something new and unique into the world. -- Richard Taylor, founder of WETA Workshop
