    SDCC 2011 Alex Ross sketchbook

    Did anyone pick one of these up or see one? I've noticed a few up on Ebay and I'm very tempted as I'm a huge fanboy. How many pages and what's in it?
    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

      Just dug through my treasure trove of SDCC goodies.

      The Alex Ross ones are super nice this year. The regular on has cardstock covers, glossy stock and his pencil sketches for The Rocketeer, The Phantom, what appears to be Damian Wayne's Robin costume (with the hood), Warlord of Mars, Thor, Planet Hulk, Astro City, Justice hardcover covers, Godzilla, Superman, Dick Sprang style Batman and Robin with that Ross style, Invaders, Manhunter, and a Catwoman on the inside back cover.

      The Toy design sketchbook I like even better. It's got his DCD Justice action figure designs, Black Terror and 'Devil busts, Nightcrawler, Spiderman, Thor, Green Goblin, Torch, Hulk and Colossus bust designs, his design for the new Batwoman.

      Best of all, it appears I have an extra set of them!

      Drop Me a PM if you want 'em Scott.

        Other sketchbooks I'm looking through right now and just totally impressed with...

        The Frank Cho sketchbook as always is mindblowingly awesome. Primarily his terrific Marvel work from the past year, however the highlight for me is his Jungle Girl section at the back, which includes one of the saucy JG pieces, for which I own the original artwork (purchased at the 2009 SDCC).

        The Adam Hughes of course is always great. There is a Starfire that gives George Perez a run for his money. A really delightful rendition of Neil Gaiman's Death. Hawkgirl aned Sonja are also among my favourites.

        I always enjoy Bill Seinkeiwicz's... pleanty of interesting stuff in there, although I have to admit that I liked his book of Dark Knight designs from last year best.

        J Scott Campbell, Christ Sanders and Terry Dodson's also worth mentioning.

        It appears I don't have a Travis Charest in my bundle this year. I'll have to see if he even did one this year. I believe Mike Mignola did the smaller competing San Diego comics event this year for those that did not get SDCC tickets.

          SN, by now, you must know I'm a Starfire junkie, so is there any chance that you could give us a looksee at the Adam Hughes Starfire? He's one of those people I've all wanted to see tackle Koriander....

          How about if I throw in a pretty please with sugar on top.

          Oh, and how about a dollar in small, unmarked coins...?

          sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

            Just 'cause you asked so nicely.



            I bet your barefoot and your socks knocked clear to the other side of the room, no?

            You probably need to own the statue.

              These aren't in the current sketchbook, but lovely nonetheless.

                    Hughes is about the only other artist besides who understands how to draw Starfire. Tom Grummet and Phil Jiminez did well, but they were pretty much just apeing George.

                      After drooling over his take on Wonder Woman, I'll bet Al Rio could probably do a pretty killer Starfire, too....!
