Alex Ross is best known for his realistic human depictions of classic comic book characters. He’s one my personal favorites because he takes a realistic look at superheroes by presenting them from the point of view of an ordinary man. And for an overgrown kid/young adult, what more could you ask for?? Not to mention he went from working as a storyboard artist for an ad agency to fulfilling his dream of becoming a world renowned comic book artist and entrepreneur. Salute! Check out some of my favorite works of his in addition to a word from the man himself!
Alfred: “Know your limits, Master Wayne.”
Bruce Wayne: “Batman has no limits.”
Alfred: “Well, you do, sir.”
Bruce Wayne: “Well, can’t afford to know ‘em.”
I always thought those lines from ‘The Dark Knight‘ were inspired by this piece.
Yup, you remember these from the intro of Spider-Man 2!
Best comic artist ever, my favorite work of his is Kingdom Come, The Obama Superman and The Future Marvel Covers. Born same day as me REP. good shit coney.
