One time though, crossing the road to here, he was knocked down by a car and shattered his pelvis.

It would be interesting to write a book about it. “We had just come through the 2020 election, and there was lots of rancor about the ‘big lie’ and election fraud, and living here in Georgia, I witnessed the very long lines for people to vote and I just thought it was all so interesting. ![]() 6/10/2023 0 Comments Fantastic four by alex ross![]() ![]() While it’s been a few years since he’s done long-form interior work, he hasn’t missed a beat with Full Circle. For his latest work, the graphic novel Fantastic Four: Full Circle, Ross has tried something different, trading Rockwell for a 1960s pop art aesthetic.įor the past few years, Ross has mostly been working as a cover artist on Marvel titles like Black Panther, Captain America and Immortal Hulk, which has resulted in some of his career-best work. The artist behind comics like DC’s Kingdom Come and Marvel’s, uh, Marvels, Ross’ beautifully painted pages are the combination of Norman Rockwell-esque realism with the colourful spandex of superheroes.

The others volumes, presumably Turn On and Drop Out, will cover the group’s imperial phase, from 1963 to their split in 1970, and will follow some time in the next decade. This is part one of a three-volume series, collectively known as All These Years (a phrase from ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’). The magisterial Tune In delivers on all counts, fulfilling all expectations and delivering what is shaping up to be the definitive telling of one of the 20th century’s greatest stories. But just as The Beatles’ legacy has grown with every passing year, no book so far has fully given justice to the band’s social, cultural and musical importance. ![]() A full 10 years after the idea was conceived, and five after the initial deadline was left for dead, the first volume of Mark Lewisohn’s epic, definitive Beatles biography has arrived.ĭoes the world need yet another Beatles biog?
