New Book: #MARVELOCITY – THE MARVEL COMICS ART OF ALEX ROSS By Chip Kidd & Geoff Spear

 

ABOUT MARVELOCITY

Marvelocity by Alex Ross will be published on October 2, 2018 by Pantheon Books. Thirteen years after his Eisner Award-winning, nationally best-selling Mythology – here is the long-awaited Marvel Comics counterpart, a retrospective celebration of the other half of the comics galaxy that is currently ruling the world: Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Black Panther, the Avengers, the X-Men, Doctor Strange, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and the Fantastic Four. 

Ross brings the heroes of the Marvel universe into dynamic life as never before. With an introduction by J.J. Abrams, MARVELOCITY includes more than 50 previously unpublished sketches, working models, and other preparatory art, and a 14-panel portfolio gallery of Marvel’s most beloved characters. MARVELOCITY also contains a new 10-page story by Ross that pits Spider-Man against the Sinister Six and ends with a stunning twist. The first printing is 75,000 copies.

In the last decade, Marvel has created the most successful franchise in cinematic history by deftly telling compelling stories about characters that audiences love. Currently, Ross works exclusively for Marvel, though he has also worked for DC Comics. He has an enormous fan base that continues to grow. He works exclusively in pencil, ink, and paint on paper, completely by hand, with no computer enhancement. MARVELOCITY chronicles this creative process.

“Alex is a legend. Even if you don’t consider yourself a comics-head, you should check out his work to see what the best of the form has to offer.” –Ta-Nehisi Coates

As he did for the DC characters in Mythology, Alex Ross now brings the heroes of the Marvel universe into dynamic life as never before. Marvelocity includes more than 50 never-been-published sketches, paintings, photographs and working models, and other preparatory art, and a 14-panel portfolio gallery of Marvel’s most beloved characters. And Ross has written a new 10-page story pitting Spider-Man against the Sinister Six–the webslinger’s most popular villains–that ends with a stunning twist.

Ross was born in 1970 in Portland, Oregon, and grew up in Lubbock, Texas. He studied painting at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, and after graduation, he worked at the Leo Burnett advertising agency as an in-house artist. His first published comics work appeared shortly after that, and he soon went out on his own. He has won every comics industry accolade many times over, including ten Will Eisner Awards. He lives with his family in Chicago.
