Fantagraphics Studio Edition

"The Fantagraphics Books Studio Edition illuminates Jamie's distinctive artistic process. Collected here is nearly 200 pages of raw, original art comprising complete stories, selected from among his most critically acclaimed, including such masterpieces as "Chester Square," "In the Valley of the Polar Bears"," Wigwam Bam." The state of the art reproduction captures every nuance of the artist's virtuosic pen lines. This is truly the closest one can get to sitting next to the artist as he draws and watching the comics take shape. The edition also features a new interview with Hernandez, conducted by Fantagraphics publisher Gary Groth, that explores the artist's inspiration and the formal elements of his craft. Plus over thirty pages of never-before-published material in various stages of completion that reveal the lively, penciled underdrawing behind each gorgeously inked panel. Also featuring exclusive new photos of the artist's studio. Full-color illustrations throughout."--from the publisher.
