Michael Wm. Kaluta has been creating beautiful imagery for more than 40
years. Highlights of his career include what many consider to be the definitive
version of The Shadow, the still in-progress Starstruck, and a
myriad of stunning covers illustrated for nearly every comics publisher -
as well as being part of the legendary STUDIO (along with Jeffery Catherine
Jones, Barry Windsor-Smith, and Bernie Wrightson). This sketchbook is the first
in a series that will provide a glimpse into the inner workings of this great
artist, from the very earliest creative spark to more finished concepts and
nearly completed works. Each image has been scanned from Kaluta's personal
sketchbooks and archives, and is accompanied by commentary from the
artist.
