"The Kevin Nowlan Marvel IDW book is highly recommended.
For artists and fans alike this book has been anticipated for many years.
Kevin Nowlan’s work depicts his understanding of pre-production and its final presentation at bookstores, including his use of thick outlines, high contrast shading with his use of black shapes, and fine tuned delicate lines ala the finest of Al Williamson and Frank Frazetta.
Nowlan use of shadows and black shapes, with his inks, guides the viewer eyes across the page to a focal point on a cover, or as a narrative indicator within interior pages.
Kevin Nowlan is rightfully known as a master with his use of color in painting, and his skills in typography and lettering (see his Moonshadow work) are fully displayed with the inclusion of his ManThing fully painted graphic, and examples of his lettering is included throughout the entire book.
This book is highly recommended."
