What is featured in The Marvel Art of Michael Allred?
“Michael Allred’s illustrious career includes nearly 30 years of Marvel comics masterworks. His breathless output includes timeless takes on Spider-Man, the unparalleled zaniness of X-Statix, epochal runs on Marvel’s first family The Fantastic Four, and the cosmic grandeur of a never-more-human Silver Surfer,” a description of the book reads. “Now Clover Press and Marvel are teaming up for The Marvel Art of Michael Allred, a high-end coffee table book along with three limited edition portfolios that celebrate the career of the Eisner award-winning artist. The book is the latest in a series of high-end, boutique artbooks that showcase legendary Marvel Comics artists, featuring iconic images alongside rare and never-before-seen artwork.”
Clover Press’ series of Marvel art books debuted in 2023. Other entries include The Marvel Art of David Mack, The Marvel Art of Alex Maleev, The Marvel Art of David Nakayama, The Marvel Art of Russell Dauterman, and The Marvel Art of Michael Turner.“
We’re x-static to be adding Michael Allred to our series of art books,” Clover Press publisher, Hank Kanalz said. “His legendary body of work spans many companies, and his work with Marvel is no exception. This book is a must-have for any Allred aficionado.”
Allred added, “It’s always gratifying to create my own worlds, characters, and stories, but it’s also an electric thrill to play in the Marvel Comics sandbox, which has been a rich inspiration to my imagination since childhood. Everything I’ve done with Marvel has solidified blissful memories and epic collaborations and friendships with folks like Peter Milligan, Matt Fraction, and Dan Slott. And always with my beloved colorist Laura Allred spreading the icing on the cake. Playing with Marvel Comics’ iconic characters like the Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, as well as my own co-creations like Zeitgeist, Mister Sensitive, and Doop, is layer after layer of creative dreams coming true.”
