Synopsis
- Out of the back pages of Detective Comics came the surprise hit of 1973, "Manhunter," and its illustrator, Walter Simonson. The series garnered awards and accolades, and the artist quickly became a star sensation. Ten years later he cemented his name among the legends of the comic book field with his epic saga, Thor. From Fantastic Four and X-Factor to Battlestar Galactica and Star Wars, Simonson can handle any genre with ease, and his stylized, dynamic artwork is an influence on many of today's top artists. This, along with a grand sense of adventure and powerful storytelling, makes Walter Simonson the subject of the next volume in the Modern Masters series! This 128-page trade paperback looks at his life and work, and features an extensive, career-spanning interview lavishly illustrated with rare and unpublished art from his files! Plus, it features an enormous sketchbook section with some of the most amazing illustrations Walter has ever produced. One look and you'll agree ― Walter Simonsion is a true Modern Master!

From Booklist
The newest Modern Masters interview spotlights an artist who burst on the scene in the early 1970s with an imaginative updating of DC Comics' vintage Manhunter character. Though he later returned to DC for such projects as a continuation of Jack Kirby's New Gods characters, Simonson remains best known for a 1980s stint at Marvel Comics, where his dynamic illustrations revitalized such titles as X-Factor, Thor, and Fantastic Four. Simonson also scripted the latter two, leading to a second career writing comics illustrated by others. As shown by the comics pages, character sketches, and other rare drawings that accompany the interview, Simonson's approach is ideally suited to superhero stories, expressing a power perfect for the genre, coupled with design sense that sets his work apart from his peers'. Three decades after entering the field, he remains as active as ever--currently he's drawing Michael Moorcock's sword-and-sorcery character Elric for DC--so this volume may prove more popular than prior series entries.
