The best covers by Adam Hughes, Eisner Award-winning illustrator, are collected in DC's slipcased Absolute Edition formate for the first time.
Adam Hughes is most commonly known for his stylized renderings of
women- superheroines, damsels in distress, figures in fantasy. He
is considered by many to be one of a new generation of Good Girl
artists inspired by Petty, Vargas and Elvgren. When describing his
own work, Adam has used the term "naturalistic" as opposed to the
term "realistic"; which describes what he does perfectly.
Adam began working in comics at the age of 19, in 1985. In 1988
Adam lent his talents to a comic book called Maze Agency; a book
that many consider to be his first real artistic "run" on a title.
In 1989 Adam began working on his first "mainstream" comic book
title- DC Comics Justice League. Adam's recognizably strong and
elegantly drawn women have graced the covers of four years worth of
DC Comics' Wonder Woman title, which was followed by four more
years on Catwoman.
Today Adam is best known as a cover artist. He pencils, inks and
colors his own covers, using both traditional and digital media.
His work can be found in magazines like Imagine FX and Playboy and
on trading and sketch cards for sets like Indiana Jones, Star Wars
and many others. He published his first coffee table book in 2010,
collecting his more than 20 years of artwork for DC Comics. Cover
Run- The DC Comics Art of Adam Hughes debuted at number two on the
New York Times best sellers list when it was released, and is
currently in its third printing.
