Plot
There are few creative names in comics whose influence is felt more in pop culture than Jim Starlin-with his creations Thanos, Gamora and Drax the Destroyer occupying such prominent roles in Marvel's cinematic universe. The "father of the cosmic soap opera," Jim Starlin's name is synonymous with the larger-than-life epic, which is why AfterShock is proud to bring back into print this epic 328-page retrospective on the career of one of the most popular and prolific comic book artists of the last 40 years! Covering everything from his humble beginnings to his rise as one of the industry's top creative talents, this oversized volume includes glimpses into Starlin's files and sketchbooks, as well as images of his personal favorites with insights into his life and creative process. The first edition of this volume sold out instantly. Don't be caught short this time! Just in time for the release of Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War movie!

Creator, Writer... And, of course, Penciller. Mister Starlin is undoubtedly quite a Complete Master. An Artist's artist. Followed by many others, his Oeuvre can be delighted once you open this oversized, autobiographical ArtBook. A Cartoonist but also a StoryTeller, his contribution to comics in more than 4 decades proved being both, challenging and influential. Jim's major body of work covers defining moments in Marvel and DC history (most arguably his deaths on each), developing great cosmic and sci-fi stories that paved the way (the MCU salutes JS™); even trascending the media (not only with his plots and drawings but regarding the comic book business too). Skillfully, he reflects on how concepts changed from his inception as far as becoming "indie". All in all, there are many enjoyable illustrations to stare at (some unpublished from his own vault). I liked the Short Stories section greatly. De Rigueur, for those who value a true craftsman with an amazing output in sequential art.

The art of Jim Starlin: A Life in words and picturesFabuloso álbum recopilatorio del trabajo de este gran artista, con bastantes explicaciones sobre el origen de sus obras y los momentos clave de creación de personajes tan carismáticos, como Dreadstar, Thanos, el Extraño o el giro de tuerca que le dio al Capitán Marvel.Calidad enorme en la publicación, gran papel (brillo), y gramaje alto, con muchísimas portadas, páginas de cómics y fotografías personales del autor.Muy recomendable si lo pillas además de oferta en Amazon por mitad de precio de portada (60$).Un 9/10
