First edition

Published by Desperado Publishing and Image Comics in 2006, this true first edition hardcover serves as the authoritative visual archive and career retrospective of master sequential illustrator Brian Bolland. Edited by Joe Pruett, the text functions as a comprehensive production reference documenting the creative development, stylistic mechanics, and visual philosophy of one of the industry's premier line-art designers. The massive 310-page monograph delivers critical technical data for art historians, curators, and illustrators, reproducing hundreds of full-color and black-and-white plates. These entries track Bolland’s definitive artistic milestones through raw pencil drafts, un-retouched ink boards, and private sketch portfolios. Key technical highlights include detailed chronological breakdowns of his historic cover design architecture for seminal series such as Batman: The Killing Joke, Judge Dredd, Animal Man, and Green Lantern.
