Clover Press is famed among graphic novel readers for its high-quality collections of classic comics and artwork. Recently, they have produced a number of books as part of a partnership with Marvel Comics. These volumes have collected the Marvel artwork of such legendary creators as Mike Allred, Alex Maleev, David Mack, Russell Dauterman, and Michael Turner. Now, artist Tyler Kirkham stands poised to join that impressive pantheon.
Famed for a distinct aesthetic that combines detailed linework with dynamic action, Tyler Kirkham is one of the most respected artists in comics today. He first found fame on Ultimate Fantastic Four, before crafting the interior art for Greg Pak’s X-Men: Phoenix Warsong. Kirkham also worked on the New Avengers/Transformers crossover comic with Stuart Moore. Additionally, he has created multiple variant covers for series ranging from Amazing Spider-Man to Star Wars.
“I am extremely excited to announce my official art book with Marvel Comics and Clover Press,” says Kirkham. “It represents a comprehensive collection of my artwork for Marvel over the years. It encompasses hundreds of covers and interior pages. I’m honored to have a book of this scale and quality coming out. 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,” says 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!”
