Just to start off - if you are just beginning to learn how to do computer coloring, DO NOT buy this book. Not yet, at least. The DC Comics Guide to Coloring and Lettering Comics is not written for the novice, but seems largely aimed at those who have had at least some experience with coloring before. While I'm sure I'll get some use out of this book later on, right now it is simply sitting on my shelf... more

| 2. Marvel Masterworks Captain America 3: Captain America |
|
By: Stan Lee
Publisher: Marvel Comics
July 26, 2006
Kirby finishes his second of 3 historic Captain America runs in this volume. Dynamic action abounds as the Captain protects the American way of life from a long line of would be global dominators. The collection ends with Steranko's all to brief take on Kirby's greatest creation in a tale marked by wild visuals and day-glo symbolism.
The perfect gift for fans of action, freedom, Kirby... more

I think all of the Marvel Essentials are great.The Only thing I could wish for in the Marvel Essentials such as Captain America's is for all the volumes to be in color. Becuase they are all in black in white... more

| 5. Wild Cards XVI - Deuces Down (Vol 5) | 
|
By: Stephen Leigh, John J. Miller
Publisher: I Books
June 25, 2002
Another good instalment in the Wild Card series, even if much delayed. Focusing on aces with powers of seemingly little consequence, some of whom are jokers as well, this book is a little more upbeat, or even lighthearted at times.
Plenty of aces make cameos, even Cameo, not to mention Demise. So lots of old favorites are around. Peregrine's son, also, as a teenager.

| 6. Red Tide |
|
By: Jim Steranko
Publisher: G P Putnam's Sons
2001-12
First off, yes, the promised Dark Horse version of this tale does not exist and it seems increasingly unlikely that it will. Hopefully Steranko, the greatest comix innovator of the '60s and '70s, will turn his talents to new material instead!
However you CAN obtain "Chandler: Red Tide" because the Dark Horse version was simply to be a revision of the "illustrated novel" Steranko created... more

| 7. Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. | 
|
By: Jim Steranko
Publisher: Marvel Comics
November 01, 2001
Sometimes you have to just suck it up. The paper is decent quality, nothing like you would find in a Masterworks series. The colors are rather dark, and not always the original color of the original comic book. Having said that, I love this edition. Come on, you get 18 editions of Strange Tales, you see Jim Steranko's early artwork and writing of Silver Age stories and the price cannot be beat... more

| 8. Brush with Passion: The Art and Life of Dave Stevens | 
|
By: Dave Stevens
Publisher: Underwood Books
October 01, 2010
Every Dave Stevens masterpiece is in here including all those great covers he did, the pin-ups, and many unseen commissioned pieces. This is all things Dave Stevens with the emphasis on his lovely artwork. The book is now out-of-print as of June, 2009, but well worth the effort of finding a copy if you are into Dave Stevens and lush pin-up art... more

By: Roy Thomas, Gary Friedrich, Arnold Drake, Werner Roth, Jack Sparling, Dan Adkins, Ross Andru, Don Heck, George Tuska, Jim Steranko, Barry Smith, John Buscema
Publisher: Marvel Comics
May 31, 2006
Not long after the comics reprinted in this volume, the original X-Men comics series was canceled. From reading this volume I think I can see at least part of what the problem was. There is almost no consistency to the creative team with artists and writers changing from issue to issue. Our heroes face mostly unmemorable foes and the appearances by the big names bad guys (Magneto, Juggernaut) aren't... more
