Graphic Ink The DC Comics Art Of Frank Quitely

Once in a while an artist comes around whose art style is unlike any other.  Steve Ditko and Gene Colan were good examples.  Frank Quitely is another.

I first became aware of Frank Quitely’s work on a Marvel Comics’ X-Men title.  Not long afterwards I enjoyed his art on Superman All-Star and Batman and Robin from DC Comics.

Frank started his DC work on various fill-ins, one-shots and Big Book projects.

It’s rumored that Frank Quitely is alias and that the artist keeps his real name under wraps.

The majority of Quitely’s work has been done for DC Comics and Graphic Ink The DC Comics Art Of Frank Quitely from DC collects most of his work from covers to full stories.

It’s fascinating to watch an artist’s style grow and blossom.  His unique style is unlike any other artist in the comic book industry.

His haunting images, odd compositions and unique perspective on page layout, character design and imagery sets his work apart.

The oversize hardbound book with its beautiful dust cover is brimming with color and black and white illustrations.  It’s an excellent visual history of Quitely’s work for DC Comics.
