Joe Chiodo is one of the most talented and prolific artists in the comic book industry. His first art collection follows the course of his brilliant career from his first forays into commercial art through his rise to fame in the comic book field. Alongside the art, Chiodo offers insight into how he builds his artwork from a rough sketch to the final stunning visual masterpiece.
The Art of Chiodo features highlights from each stage of Chiodo's career. Early sketches afford a glimpse into the life of Chiodo as a struggling young artist. His first gorgeous pinups reveal the beginnings of the soft but sexy style that has become his trademark.
