Marvel Universe by Arthur Adams Omnibus

By Chris Claremont, Arthur Adams, Tom DeFalco

Like all great comic-book artists, Arthur Adams earned his way in through long, hard work - by hitting the pavement with his portfolio in hand. But it didn't seem that way. Adams seemed to burst out of the clear blue sky with an avalanche of unbelievable artwork. Energetic, richly detailed, full of character and just plain fun, his art merged East and West - bringing manga influences to American readers and influencing a generation of future artists. Now, this Omnibus collects Adams' complete Marvel work from the 1980s through the early 1990s in one volume! From Longshot to the X-Men to the New Fantastic Four; from covers galore to pinups, posters and trading cards - not to mention a huge trove of pencils and original art - this is your be-all, end-all Arthur Adams Omnibus! Collecting LONGSHOT #1-6, NEW MUTANTS SPECIAL EDITION #1, X-MEN ANNUAL (1970) #9-10, CLOAK AND DAGGER (1985) #9, X-FACTOR (1986) #41-42, EXCALIBUR: MOJO MAYHEM and FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #347-349 - plus material from WEB OF SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #2, X-MEN ANNUAL (1970) #12 and #14, FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #358, and MARVEL HOLIDAY SPECIAL (1991) #1.

Arthur Adams fan here.

I've been a fan since the late 80's. In 1991, I must've been 13 years old collecting a few comic books and some of the Marvel Cards. His beautiful illustrations inspired me to become an artist, and this book really takes me deep into the skill and genius that Arthur had already developed in his early 20s. I have only glanced at the pages in this book so far, and I'm blown away by the sketches and heavy pen work. I know I'll be studying every sketch and comic panel the same way I did when I first discovered his work. It's truly inspiring. Even now, at 45, I find myself turning the pages as a kid and fan again. I'm once again inspired by the master's work and can't wait to sketch on my own again. I highly recommend this book to any comic book fan, as well as any artist and illustrator.
