The first retrospective look at the work of a master with exclusive art and interviews! Best known for his work on Ghost Rider, The Black Panther, Moon Knight, and Vampirella, Mark Texeira is famed for his remarkable oil paintings, illustrations, and talent for storytelling. The Art of Mark Texeira explores the development of this renowned artist, from his tough inner-city youth, to his inspiring junior-high art teacher, to his days at Manhattan's Art and Design High, to his years of study with Max Ginsburg, Irwin Greenberg, and David Leffel, and beyond. More than 150 images showcase Texeira's work in movies, albums, books, comics, and more. Dynamic and powerful, Texeira's art leaps from the pages of this first retrospective, packed with never-before-seen art and interviews with the artist himself.
