5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best Alex Ross artwork for DC, October 10, 2005

This set is nice overall, though I'm a bit disappointed the postcards themselves are bound together like a book (unlike the Sandman postcard set, which comes in a gift box). But if you don't mind that, you'll love this set. You get a sampling of Ross' best DC art, including a couple of his plates and litho's from the WB store, some Kingdom Come scenes, and much more. Of all 30 postcards, I only consider 4 of them duds. The other 26 are spectacular.

A perfect gift for those that like comics and superheroes. Alex Ross draws and paints some of the best superheroes around. Solid, heavy stock postcards are just right for sending short messages to those you care about.

If you know who Alex Ross is, you don't need to read reviews about his work. Everything the man does is amazing, and this postcard set is a collection of some of his best pieces.
