**NOW IN PAPERBACK, WITH COLOR AND BLACK-AND-WHITE DRAWINGS
THROUGHOUT**
Alex Ross opens his private sketchbooks to reveal his astonishing
pencil and ink drawings of DC Comics characters, nearly all of them
appearing in print here for the first time in paperback.
Thousands of fans from around the world have thrilled to Alex's
fully rendered photo-realistic paintings of their favorite heroes,
but, as they may not realize, all of those works start as pencil on
paper, and the origins of the finished images are rarely
seen--until now.
From deleted scenes and altered panels for the epic "Kingdom Come"
saga to proposals for revamping such classic properties as Batgirl,
Captain Marvel, and an imagined son of Batman named Batboy, to
unused alternate comic book cover ideas for the monthly "Superman
"and "Batman" comics of 2008-2009, there is much to surprise and
delight those who thought they already knew all of Alex's DC Comics
work.
Illuminating everything is the artist's own commentary, written
expressly for this book, explaining his thought processes and
stylistic approaches for the various riffs and reimaginings of
characters we thought we knew everything about but whose
possibilities we didn't fully understand.
As a record of a pivotal era in comics history, "Rough Justice" is
a must-have for Alex's legion of fans, as well as for anyone
interested in masterly comic book imagination and illustration.
