This art book by Darick Robertson is a beautiful companion piece to the series. We get to see Robertson's covers in hi-def quality and without that annoying text in the way. What's more, is we get to see a tiny glimpse into the process that he undertakes when drawing the covers. I think Robertson is a fantastic artist. And his style can be deceiving. It looks messy and a bit hastily drawn, but in this book, by pulling back the curtain a bit, we see just how damn good he is. Not only the technica...
The covers for all the issues of The Boys, plus those of the mini-series that came out during the original run, with preliminary sketches for each cover and brief plot synopses. Probably makes more sense as a physical object; with a digital copy you might as well be browsing the covers on Comixology. Interesting to read that Adam McKay was trying to make it into a film but all the studios turned him down. Wonder if they regret that now it's the biggest thing on television?
This isn't a comic book. It is a book about comics. The covers of "The Boys" issues one through thirty are the basis for this book. I would say that this is more of an art book since it deals with the covers and shows how they came up with the idea and a brief blurb about the picture.As a fan of art, yes even comic art, I liked this collection of the bizarre and often funny "The Boys" covers. Even if you know nothing about the story you may like the art. If you are a fan, then by all means snag
