Artist Tyler Kirkham has become a fixture at Marvel Comics in recent years, and it's not hard to understand why. Now Clover Press is celebrating Kirkham's prolific career by making him the subject of their latest Marvel artbook.
With the crowdfunding campaign for The Marvel Art of Tyler Kirkham now live, IGN can exclusively debut a new preview of the Spider-Man artwork featured in the book (art which will also be reprinted as a portfolio in certain pledge tiers). Get a closer look in the slideshow gallery below:
The Marvel Art of Tyler Kirkham is a hardcover, coffee table-style artbook featuring 200 pages of art pulled both from Kirkham's interior art in books like New Avengers/Transformers and Phoenix: Warsong and from covers to series like The Amazing Spider-Man and Venom. In addition to the book itself, backers have the option to add on extras like 11"x17" art prints, stickers, and other goodies.
“I am extremely excited to announce my official art book with Marvel Comics and Clover Press,” said Kirkham in a statement. “It represents a comprehensive collection of my artwork for Marvel over the years, encompassing hundreds of covers and interior pages. I'm honored to have a book of this scale and quality coming out and I can't wait for people to see it!”
“I’ve been a fan of Tyler’s work since our days at DC, and have marveled at what he’s accomplished in the years since,” said Clover Press Publisher Hank Kanalz. “He continues to top himself with his ‘Battle Damage’ covers and more recently his homage pieces. The Marvel Art of Tyler Kirkham tracks his growth as an artist, and collects so many pieces in one volume – not to be missed by any Tyler Kirkham collector!”
The Kickstarter campaign for The Marvel Art of Tyler Kirkham is live now. Previous Marvel artbooks from Clover Press have included The Marvel Art of Alex Maleev, The Marvel Art of Russell Dauterman, and The Marvel Art of Michael Turner.
