Comics art master Jim Lee has yet to hit 50. But the recently promoted co-publisher of DC Comics is nevertheless the subject of the career retrospective hardcover Icons: The DC Comics and WildStorm Art of Jim Lee, due Tuesday from Titan Books.
Acclaimed artist Lee has spent two decades rendering superheroes like Batman, Superman and X-Men for both DC and Marvel Comics, where he landed his first job in 1989. But the visually impressive
The mature WildStorm, which became a DC imprint in 1999, was shuttered this year around the same time that Lee became co-publisher during a DC reorganization. Having served as a safe house for brilliant writers like Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Warren Ellis and Mark Millar, WildStorm’s publishing ends this year as its characters are thankfully absorbed into DC’s widescreen roster.
The career-spanning Icons: The DC Comics and WildStorm Art of Jim Lee collects an in-depth interview, full-color illustrations, pencils sketches and new work — including a previously unseen 10-page Legion of Super-Heroes story written by Paul Levitz (who Lee replaced as DC Comics co-publisher) — into a coffee-table must-have for comics geeks.
