Art Adams ran a Kickstarter last year for an art book with 4 versions that all shipped by the fall of 2023. None of them seem to be listed in the database HOWEVER there is another art book from 2012 with the same title but that seems to be totally unrelated to this project. Here’s the info:
Series Title: The Art of Arthur Adams
Release Date: 2023
Pages: 180
Title: A Forty-Year Retrospective
Publisher: Flesk
Genre: Art / Pinup
Country: USA
Language: English
Plot: The Art of Arthur Adams is the most comprehensive retrospective ever compiled on this celebrated comic artist. His detailed style is showcased by highlighting his singular voice, which has garnered the praise of his peers and fans worldwide. Arthur has helped to introduce some the greatest pop-culture characters in comics to a wider audience through his imaginative renditions.
A hand-picked selection of his art spans forty years and highlights a variety of comic-book covers and interior pages from each phase of his career. The pieces showcased here are from major and independent publishers as well as creator-owned projects. Examples cover a chronological display dating from his first samples, while trying to break into the business, to Arthur’s latest cover drawings. Each image is accompanied by personal anecdotes that enhance the visuals. In addition, this book includes a historical essay revealing the artist’s journey. Never-before-seen preliminary art and pencils for his published covers also are included. This book was designed for the artist’s most-seasoned fans but also serves as an introduction to those experiencing his work for the first time.
