DESCRIPTION
Pg. 27; Doug Braithwaite pencils, Alex Ross watercolors; 2005; image size 12" x 18"; beautifully framed 24" x 29.5"The series Justice was created by the team of Alex Ross, Doug Braithwaite, and Jim Kreuger. The title featured a topsy-turvy plotline which depicts the Legion of Doom confronting the Justice League to save the world from an apocalyptic future that the team of villains witnessed in a shared dream. This page, from the first issue of the series, portrays Black Manta transporting an unconscious Aquaman, who he hands over to a shadowy figure that turns out to be Lex Luthor. Ross' distinctive and regal style is cranked up to eleven on this beautiful page. His photorealistic approach lends gravitas to both superheroes and supervillains, imbuing them with humanity seldom seen in the comics medium.
Artists Information
Alex Ross is an American comic book writer/artist known primarily for his painted interiors, covers, and design work. He first became known with the 1994 miniseries Marvels, on which he collaborated with writer Kurt Busiek for Marvel Comics. He has since done a variety of projects for both Marvel and DC Comics, such as the 1996 miniseries Kingdom Come, which Ross co-wrote. Since then he has done covers and character designs for Busiek's series Astro City, and various projects for Dynamite Entertainment. His feature film work includes concept and narrative art for Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2, and DVD packaging art for the M. Night Shyamalan film Unbreakable. He has done covers for TV Guide, promotional artwork for the Academy Awards, posters and packaging design for video games, and his renditions of superheroes have been merchandised as action figures. Ross' style has been said to exhibit "a Norman-Rockwell-meets-George-Pérez vibe", and has been praised for its realistic, human depictions of classic comic book characters. His rendering style, his attention to detail, and the perceived tendency of his characters to be depicted staring off into the distance in cover images has been satirized in Mad magazine.
Braithwaite started out working on British comics, like 2000 AD and A1, but is best known for his Marvel Comics work on the Earth X sequels, Universe X and Paradise X (with Alex Ross and Jim Krueger), as well as for The Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe and Punisher: MAX.
