Yesterday I put in my preorder for The Art of Sean Phillips. It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Sean Phillips’ art and have been looking forward to his art book for a while. The Art of Sean Phillips is an over-sized 9″ x 12″ hardcover with more than 300 pages!
Here’s how the book description describes it…
The Art of Sean Phillips is a lavish, career-spanning retrospective of the acclaimed artist behind Criminal, Sleeper, Incognito, and Fatale.
Sean has personally selected the very best, most interesting examples of his art for inclusion, from comic strips assembled with childhood friends in his bedroom, through his work for British girls’ comics and 2000AD, to his role as a key artist in the early years of Vertigo, through his superhero work for Marvel, DC, and WildStorm, and finally from his creator-owned series with Ed Brubaker.
Also, the renowned artist has been extensively interviewed, along with many of his key collaborators, for the book’s in-depth commentary on his work and career.
Here’s where you can see some preview pages thanks to Comic Vine.
The Art of Sean Phillips is available for pre-order now.

I’m a fan of Ed Brubaker’s crime fiction so I was glad to hear that he has a new live-action crime series called “Angel of Death” set to premiere in 2009. Zoe Bell, best known for her work in Quentin Tarantino’s “Death Proof” will star as an assassin who, after suffering a severe head wound, becomes so haunted by her victims that she decides to go after the crime family that ordered the hits. What makes this weekly series unique is that each episode will be eight to ten minutes in length and air on-line!You can read the full story here.

I recently discovered Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. I loved their work on Criminal: Coward. Their second story arc, Criminal: Lawless is on pace to be just as good if not better! I’m also digging their work on Sleeper [more about that soon]. Until then, here’s an interview with Ed Brubaker thanks to the good folks at Chud.com.
I’ve been digging Criminal by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips since the first issue. The second story arc [Criminal #6] has just started and it looks to be even better than the first! Since it has new characters and a new story, it’s the perfect jumping on point! Tracy Lawless is ex-military and AWOL. Already prone to violence, Lawless is after his brother’s killers and nothing is going to stop him from getting his revenge.Criminal #6 rates an A+
