Adi Granov appreciation thread

[Killswitch]

Here's to Marvel's most interesting, most striking artist, whose realism is unsurpassed.

Why can't I buy posters of his stuff??

if one more person starts an artist appreciation thread without actually posting any pictures, i'm going to freak out.

Is that the guy who did the Iron Man Covers?

Yes

And yes, there's something weirdly cheap about someone who starts an art appreciation thread without showing loads of pics as to why they like the art....

 

[Kevin]

I love his covers and loved his 6 issues of Iron Man. And yes, I have said this before, you can't start a thread like this and not show pictures. Seriously, what is the point?

His work is fantastic:

 

[Kevin]

That's better. And I must say that I never again want him on a monthly comic.

 

[Darthphere]

I appreciate that his art takes a long time making it ******ed to put him on an ongoing.

Yet, Marvel did it. We should've/would've been up to issue 20 somethime by now.

He draws the best Iron Man. Love the fact that he is involved with the upcoming film.

there used to be a thing on his now defunct website that went into the process behind his art. it's pretty cool.

Or stupid. But I've since scaled back my approach.

 

[PhotoJones]

[Darthphere]

No, I deleted all those files a while back though.

25, since the series is contemporaneous with the Captain America reboot (both have been delayed by Civil War rather heavily); however, after Cap's #25 in February, it goes on another hiatus until May, while Iron Man publishes continuously, so that should evens things slightly).

His art is fantastic for covers (that Human Torch image is incredible), although I'm not as impressed by his ordinary humans as by his technology, aliens, and creatures.
