Clover Press has been busy publishing a number of Marvel art books focused on acclaimed artists like Alex Maleev and Russell Dauterman, but now they're making the jump over to DC. The publisher's first DC artbook is The DC Art of Jorge Jiménez, celebrating the prolific artist behind Batman, Superman, Super Sons, and more.
With the Kickstarter campaign for The DC Art of Jorge Jiménez live now, IGN can exclusively debut a new preview of the book. Check out the slideshow gallery below to see some truly stunning art from Jiménez's ongoing Batman run:
The DC Art of Jorge Jiménez is a hardcover art book featuring a curated lineup of cover art and interior work from Jiménez's prolific DC career.
“Since the Superman movie with its masterful soundtrack first caught my attention when I was a kid, I’ve been a die-hard fan of the DC Comics universe,” said Jiménez in a statement. “My first drawings were destined to be Batman or Superman. Being able to fulfill my dream of working with these characters and making this my job is priceless. It's been more than ten years living these adventures every day, working side by side with great writers like James Tynion, Chip Zdarsky, Scott Snyder and Peter Tomasi from whom I have learned so much, taking inspiration from my fellow artists who, always accompanied by the great editors at DC.”
“It is a great honor for me to have an art book featuring my work, which compiles so many hours and days of my life from my first steps in digital series, to my jump to the front line of DC, with everything that entails; high quality inked pages, covers, and previously unpublished concept art,” said Jiménez. “I'm super excited about all this. Will you join me on this journey along with Batman, Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman, Superman and all these incredible characters?! You can't miss it!”
The DC Art of Jorge Jiménez is live on Kickstarter now.
Jiménez's five-year Batman run is showing no sign of ending anytime soon. We recently learned that Jiménez will return to the series after Batman: Hush 2 wraps up this fall. This time, Jiménez is teaming with writer Matt Fraction for a relaunched series that introduces a new Batsuit.
