~Just say AH! sounds about right!~

By©~K.I.S.S`E.S.S~don't lie~©on February 14, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

What can I say that others have not already said? Adam Hughes is all kinds of AWESOME! I am a late comer to his art yet it grips me all the same as those who have years under their belt with AH. Both the dust jacket and the actual image on the cover of the book (its even IN COLOR!, how often does that happen?!) are simply stunning, just another adjective to describe the art of Adam Hughes. Wonder Woman may be the most popular character among his works, but Catwoman stands her ground firmly in these pages, with minor appearances by Supergirl, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn. Rose Stone is also featured here, as well. There are a few dudes within, maybe you've heard of them; Batman, Superman, no profound appearances but they do demonstrate Hughes' ability to articulate men to his audience.

5 stars? Shoot, I'd give it 1'000'000 stars if Amazon permitted! A million stars, no diggity, no doubt.

More than I expected

ByKelsarathon December 24, 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I've been a fan of Adam Hughes for a long long time, I was still in high school when I bought my first issue of Ghost, penciled then when he was lesser known but still amazing. I no longer really read comics, though I do occasionally pick one up when the cover art grabs my attention and I was never too big into DC; this book, even so, is worth every penny.
It shows not only a much wider range of covers than I'd thought it would but also manages to capture a lot of his growth as an artist. From the days when he was a bit more generic up until he began to showcase his distinctive and beautiful "good girl" technique.
My favorite part of AH is that he manages to convey so much with so little. A lot of artists tend to pack in the detail and while they too tend to have some great work, I'm always amazed by Adam's ability to capture moods and gesture with a few well-placed lines.
I have only one complaint and I know that it's invalid. It's not enough! I need more, lol. I realize that this book covers his cover work on the DC universe but I want to see all of it. No doubt we'd end up with a book that would be large enough to ground a 757 and every UPS man would rue the day he was born but oh, I would live in the shadow of their hatred for such a volume.
For anyone into comics, Pin-ups, Adam Hughes or just great art; I sincerely recommend this book, even if you're just thinking it might be worth taking a look at, it is, take a look!

Adam Hughes never disappoints. This book captures his early work to some of his more recent work and you can literally see his growth as an artist the further you get into the book. I love reading how an artist came up with a concept or how the piece was created and in this book you get a nice description to go along with the artwork from the artist himself.

BEST ART BOOK HANDS DOWN

ByWells Fargoon April 1, 2011

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book is so good! I bought it in December last year, and I was blown away by a bunch of his colorful art. On each page, he typed down what happened to him, and what he was struggling with. In the first few pages, he explained his experiences in drawing both interiors and comic covers when he was young. He did about 35 issues (both covers AND interior pages) in the first four years. 35 issues is a lot! As I was reading through the whole book, he had great advices and secrets! Anyway, after 200-something pages, I wanted to read it again for inspiration.

In comparison of this book and other art books, this one still stands as the best art book hands down! After all the artbooks I looked into, I always turn myself to Cover Run, because of such quality he put in his work. Even after looking into Jim Lee's Icons or Alex Ross's Mythology, I STILL go back to looking at the pretty pictures Adam put in Cover Run.

Great book. A lot of fun. Beautiful art. Great writing. Worth every cent!

loved it....except for one little thing....

ByD. Klecanon April 20, 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

It was worth every penny. I read it from cover to cover...twice. The artwork was gorgeous...his run on Wonder Woman breathtaking. His work is not only beautiful, but funny and intelligent as well. His pencil sketches are detailed and enlightening and show an artist that is meticulous and hardworking. What a joy it must be to be his editor and to be the first one to open these works of art on a computer.

The text is fun to read and feels like a good friend is sitting next to you showing his portfolio... self-effacing about what is obviously extremely talented work.

The only thing that bugs me is that I wished he had expanded on techniques. He would briefly discuss some of the digital techniques he discovered while working....which only tantalized us fellow artists that work in a digital environment. Maybe he will publish a book on Photoshop painting techniques...we can only hope.

Fantastic Showcase of covers and developmental sketches.

Bymannyon December 30, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Great art and developmental sketches behind one of the most amazing comic book artists of our time. It's fascinating to see the rough sketches and potential alternate directions that these classic covers could have taken as well as read some of the commentary from Adam Hughes himself on what lead him to choose a direction and his artistic process in general. If you're a fan of Adam Hughes and his good girl art then this is a great book to have on your shelf.
