Don Heck remains one of the legendary names in comics, considered an
"artist's artist," respected by peers, and beloved by fans as the
co-creator of Marvel Comics characters Iron Man, Hawkeye, and Black Widow, and
for his long stint on Marvel Comics' team book The Avengers. In Don
Heck: A Work of Art, author John Coates has meticulously researched and
chronicled information on Don's storied 40-year career, including his time
at DC, Dell, Gold Key, and as "ghost" artist on Lee Falk's
The Phantom newspaper strip. From personal recollections from Don's
surviving family, long-time friends, and industry legends, to rare interviews
with Heck himself (where he discusses his career, artistic technique, triumphs,
frustrations, and love of drawing), this book is full of insight into -
and first-hand anecdotes from - the early days of Marvel Comics. It also
features an unbiased analysis of sales on Don's DC Comics titles, an
extensive art gallery (including published, unpublished, and pencil artwork), a
Foreword by Stan Lee, and an Afterword by Beau Smith.
