Clover Press has just launched two art books on David Mack and Alex Maleev on kickstarter and they’re already well past their target. Here’s a few details…

The new series from Clover Press will debut with The Marvel Art Of David Mack and The Marvel Art Of Alex Maleev, two prestige coffee table books that celebrate the careers of two distinctive artists whose names are synonymous with the adventures of Daredevil, the Man Without Fear, and so much more!

What are The Marvel Art Of… books?

The Marvel Art Of… books are a series of high-end, boutique artbooks that showcase legendary Marvel Comics’ artists, featuring iconic images alongside rare and never-before-seen artwork. We’re working closely with each artist to craft a beautiful representation of their work over the years with Marvel. Supporting this campaign supports each talent directly.

DAVID MACK

With an illustrious career spanning nearly three decades, David Mack has created some of the most iconic and memorable artwork in the history of comics. He’s known for his work on Marvel titles such as Daredevil, Alias, and Jessica Jones, as well as creating the character Echo, all of which have earned him widespread recognition and critical acclaim.

The Marvel Art Of David Mack collects Mack’s art for Daredevil and other Marvel books, and includes never-before-seen sketches, behind-the-scenes material, a foreword written by Vincent D’Onofrio, who played Wilson Fisk in the hit Netflix series Daredevil, and an afterword by Brian Michael Bendis in a high end 9″ x 12″ hardcover book of about 200 pages.

ALEX MALEEV

Eisner award-winner Alex Maleev has worked on several Marvel titles, including seminal runs on Daredevil, Spider-Woman, and Moon Knight. Maleev began working in comics in the early 1990’s and quickly rose to prominence on several high profile projects at other companies, before teaming with Brian Michael Bendis on Daredevil, and reuniting with Bendis to re-imagine Spider-Woman and Moon Knight.

The Marvel Art Of Alex Maleev collects Maleev’s sublime artwork on Marvel titles including Daredevil, Spider-Woman, and Moon Knight, and includes never-before-seen sketches, behind-the-scenes material, and an introduction by Brian Michael Bendis in a high end 9″ x 12″ hardcover book of about 200 pages.
