The Marvel Art Of Skottie Young

by Jess Harrold, Skottie Young (Illustrator)

Celebrate the unmistakable artwork of Skottie Young in a colorful collection of comic pages, covers and cartoons! The distinctively stylized illustrator first caught fans’ eyes with his flaming-hot take on the Human Torch, and he’s wowed readers across the years since on Marvel books including VENOM, LEGEND OF THE SPIDER-CLAN, NEW WARRIORS and NEW X-MEN! Young steered the Guardians of the Galaxy’s fan-favorite Rocket Raccoon into solo adventures, and his variant covers are a collector’s-item sensation! In addition to his art, Young has written ROCKET RACCOON AND GROOT, NOT A HERO and DEADPOOL! This volume is the ultimate retrospective of the Marvel Universe according to Skottie — ideal for Young and old!

A really interesting career retrospective and biography. Can see all the covers we collected, as well as some things I never knew about. Fascinating seeing the early work and the influences of Ramos and Maduera.

Great addition to any Skottie Young fans collection.

Full disclosure I had no idea I would be giving this book a 5-star rating when I picked it up. I felt it was going to be a nice art book and probably get 4 stars as Skottie Young is a very talented artist...but the combination of story, art and production of this book made me passionate enough to know before I finished it...this is 5-star material. I wish that more artists had these type of books made. I have enjoyed numerous artists books but this one hit perfectly balancing a lot of art along with a story that had details I was not aware of prior to picking it up.

The index at the back of this book is nothing short of amazing! I think it was something that was so cool I wish it was at the back of EVERY art book!

I love Skottie Young. And this art book is not just a celebration of his distinctive art style but also a quick journey through his history as a comic book artist (and writer!) including a lot of projects that never really panned out despite his beautiful art. It's focused on his Marvel life, which does make up the bulk of his career, and so there's a lot of good stuff to enjoy. It's more than just a pretty picture book but it also doesn't shy away from just giving Young's art focus on center stage.

Aunque en un libro de "El arte de..." uno quisiera ver siempre mucho más arte, este libro tiene un gran balance entre lo que muestra y lo que cuenta: La historia de Skottie (en medio de una carrera que está lejos de terminar) es inspiradora para mucha gente que quiere comenzar a trabajar en este medio.
