Last Chance on Marvel Comics Superstar artist John Buscema Rare Deluxe Art Book!

Vanguard's Previews ad for their DELUXE Limited Edition, Signed and Numbered John Buscema art book did not make it into the MAY issue of Previews.

To premiere at Buscema's rare San Diego ComiCon appearance, the book is going to press despite the fact that many retailers missed the solicitation, results being that the Deluxe Signed edition will be twice as rare!

While other editions could be reprinted, the DELUXE Limited Edition, Signed and Numbered by Buscema with BONUS PORTFOLIO, WILL NEVER BE REPRINTED!

With landmark runs on Silver Surfer, Avengers, Thor, Wolverine, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man & his favorite, Conan The Barbarian, John Buscema epitomizes Marvel Comics art.

The Sketchbook, his first art volume since the perennial selling How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way, reveals the artist1s unpublished personal works. Hundreds of vintage, new and unpublished drawings are included.

The rare Buscema interview addresses both his technique and his career including insights on his Golden Age work and years working with top commercial illustrators including STAR TREK and SUPERMAN movie poster artist Bob Peak! Also featured is an introduction by comic book creator, illustrator, filmmaker and pop-culture historian, STERANKO.

The John Buscema Sketchbook is a valuable addition to the collection of Marvel Comics and Conan the Barbarian enthusiasts as well as aspiring artists. In addition, Vanguard is planning to run the Deluxe Hardcovers, SIGNED BY JOHN BUSCEMA, on heavyweight paper and include extra material, similar to the Underwood Frazetta deluxe hardbacks!
