Book Reviews of Modern Masters Volume 24: Guy Davis
Book Review: A great look at Davis' work, past and present
Summary: 5 Stars
I got into Guy Davis' work because of BPRD. The funny thing is, at first I didn't care for his artwork. It was too scribbly and loose, the faces too puggish. I gave it another chance while in a bookstore one day, though, and for some reason it clicked. Now I can't get enough of it! He has such a unique design sense, especially for monstrous characters, robots, and pulpy heroes. It's like nothing else out there. His backgrounds, his unique line-work, his story-telling, it's all fantastic stuff.
The Modern Masters series has put together a great book about Davis. It features a lengthy and in-depth interview with Davis about his beginnings, methods, influences, passions, and everything in between. It is also chock-full of artwork, from comic strips he did as a kid for his local paper, through his anime-influenced The Realm work, then through Baker Street, Sandman, The Marquis, and BPRD, with stops along the way for side projects and unproduced projects. It also includes a small but beautiful color section at the back that features some of the work he did for the second Hellboy movie.
All in all, for any fan of Davis' work, this book is a must own.
Summary of Modern Masters Volume 24: Guy Davis
Guy Davis is a master of the macabre, the mysterious, the just plain creepy. But underlying the eerie quality of his artwork is a remarkable sense of storytelling. Emotion drips off his brush, filling his work with life and energy. From his breakthrough hit, Baker Street, to the pulp noir Sandman Mystery Theater, to his current work on the Hellboy spin-off series, B.P.R.D., Davis has shown time and again that he is one of the best in the business. Join us as we lift the veil on the career of another Modern Master - Guy Davis! This book features a career-spanning interview with the artist, a discussion of his creative process, and reams of rare and unseen art, including a large gallery of commissioned pieces, and eight pages of full-color work.Graphic Novels Books
