The collaborative effort of Dewey Cassell, Aaron Sulton and Mike Gartland, The Art Of George Tuska examines the artistic and creative legacy of comic book artist George Tuska, best known for his work on the Marvel Comic series "Iron Man" but who has worked for every major comic book publisher and illustrated hundreds of stories. A tribute to a fifty-year seasoned veteran of a demanding and competitive industry, The Art Of George Tuska traces Tuska's earliest work, his service during World War II, his work for the hotly controversial crime comics of the 1950s, and his tenure with both Marvel and DC comics. Filled cover-to-cover with black-and-white photographs and samples of Tuska's art, The Art Of George Tuska a fine survey of Ruska's dedication and talent, and includes interviews and anecdotes from Will Eisner, Jim Mooney, Nick Cardy, Marie Severin, John Romita, Gene Colan, Joe Simon, Mike Esposito, Bob Layton, Paul Levitz, and Roy Thomas, and Featuring a foreword by Marvel Comics paragon Stan Lee. Highly recommended especially for classic superhero comic book fans.
