This is the first I'm hearing about this book. So, I'm taking
this as being a 'Best-Of" type of coffee book covering a
majority of his art over his career? The cover alone makes me
want this. But curious to know exactly what is on the inside.
How many pages? Cover price? Etc.....

It's awesome, it's like a coffee table book (certianly coffee
table book priced and sized) and it runs through his career
until 2004, the whole thing is a long interview he did with
Richard Starkings (who also designed the book and it looks
tight). There's a bunch of drawings Campbell did as a kid as
well, for his school paper, yearbooks, etc. There's lots of
drawings and inkings... and a lot of talk about Wildsiderz as
well..
Gotta tell you, I've been drawing tonight and I'm seeing a
marked improvement in my figures, so I think the book is workin'
for me (I'm nto copying the images, no no no, but I've been
doing studies and I'm seeing some Campbell-esque exagerations
starting to appear.
It's about 310 pages, fifty bucks... only a couple colour pages
at the end, but it's PACKED with illustratioms. And it's
1994-2004, and I'll be honest, I wanna read and see the
2004-2014 as well, they can do a part two about now, right?

Nice. Kind of odd that this wasn't a Comic Con release as more
people (myself) would have heard about this before and would
have more eyes on it. Definitely going to look for a copy for
myself. Thanks. So, does this come with a Dust Jacket for the
book and the Jacket has the BTTF image?

Maybe it just came out, and will be at Comic-Con next year.
Hardcover, but no dust jacket (the Back To The Future art is a
limited edition).
Did, like, 3-4 pages of doodles last night and man, I picked up
the JSC style FAST. 1998 me would hate me right now.

Haven't scanned them in yet, was working on them until 4am (my
usual turn-in time).
Besides, I might do a few more. But it's interested to see the
jump from a few days ago... it's still recognizably me, but
looser and a little more extended. Ironically what I seem to
have picked up most is the hands. I should do a few pages of
hands and feet while I've got the buzz on.

Wow, I can't believe I haven't discussed anything since JSC.
Well, I suppose it's winter and I do less reading (or rather,
less proper book reading) then. I mostly stick to trade
paperbacks and things I cna get finished in one sitting, since
the mood strikes me less often. You know me, I prefer to read
out on my patio in the sun. I could be out there for hours.

Well, I got a sh1tload of graphic novels last week (enough to
keep me from going to the shops anytime soon, b/c D6MN). and
really, Miami Vice Remix is the only one I'll wait to read on my
iPad because the art is so weirdly small, but it should be
awesome, I love Jim Mahfood and the idea of Tubbs and Crockets
fighting zombies? In.
But the one I read today was Starlight. Dudes, this is why I
like Mark Millar. It's obvious to just label him because of the
dark and gritty stuff, but Superior and this proves what he's
capable of. The book is basically like a necrosequel to Flash
Gordon and it feels perfect. The writing is great, the art
is... I love the art, doing it like Al Williamson would have
been impossible for a number of reasons, but the Moebius-style
art they went with is PERFECT. And the best compliment I can
think of is that the whole time reading the book, Queen's anthem
was blaring in my head, informing me that he's a miracle.
