MODERN MASTERS Volume 11: Charles Vess
By Christopher Irving and Eric Nolen-Weathington. Introduction by Fabian Nicieza.
Highly Recommended
The enchanting artwork of Vess (Stardust) is featured, with an in-depth interview, hundreds of drawings, sketches, finished works, and a gallery. Whether it be his book illustrations, his paintings, or his comic book stories, Vess' award-winning work evokes worlds of magic and wonder. Inspired by classic artists like Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac, Vess carries on that fine tradition. His illustrations for authors like Neil Gaiman (Stardust) and Charles de Lint (Circle of Cats, Seven Wild Sisters) are in perfect harmony with their fantastic worlds. But he's also done a Spider-Man graphic novel--where Spidey goes to Scotland! And a Michael Chabon historical adventure. And on and on and on... Includes an 8-page color section.

Modern Masters is an ongoing series celebrating the lives and work of the greatest comic book artists. The series shares the goals, insights, motivations and influences of the featured comic artist, along with interesting background details.

About Bud

I've been actively collecting, buying and selling now since 1968. I received a San Diego Comic-Con Inkpot Award in 1994. I am in Fifty Who Made DC Great (1985) , Founders of Comics Fandom (2010), Comics: Between the Panels (1998), etc.

I opened my first comic store with six partners in 1968, co-owned a chain of seven comic stores from 1972-1988, and distributed comics and specialty items from seven warehouses in four states until I sold that portion of the business to Diamond Comic Distributors in 1988.

I've exhibited at every San Diego Comic Con since the first in 1970. I've twice been on the Spectrum Jury panel and am on the advisory board, I've helped publishers assemble books using my own collection as source material, and I provide input or advice to publishers on new projects.

I have never stopped collecting and learning about comics and art history. I'm pleased that my enthusiasm and interest can help me to better introduce customers to new as well as vintage artists and collections. I use "Recommended," "Highly Recommended," and "Our Highest Recommendation" to show my personal endorsement and enthusiasm for items that I am most excited about.
