The Art of Top Cow should probably be called
The Art of Marc Silvestri, as that's what the majority of the 320 pages of the book focus on. And that's definitely not a bad thing, because Silvestri knows his way around the pencils and paper.
Fear not however, as there are other artists present in the book. Artists from the famous Top Cow Artist "Pit." These artists include Michael Turner, Dave Finch, Joe Benitez, Eric Basaldua, Dale Keown and Stjepan Sejic just to name a few.
The 320-page will hit stores July 29 and will be presented in an oversized 10” x 12” hardcover with a two-sided dust jacket that folds out into a unique poster that features a cover featuring the collaborative efforts Silvestri and long time colorist painter Steve Firchow. I'm going to assume that the price will lean more towards the high side, but I would think that it's definitely going to be worth it.
Full press release after the jump.
THE BEST OF MARC SILVESTRI AND THE TOP COW ‘PIT’ - THE ART OF TOP COW
LOS ANGELES, Calif., May 26th, 2009 – Top Cow Productions, Inc. proudly announced today that they will release The Art of Top Cow, a 320 page hard cover coffee table book. Scheduled to be released in July 2009, The Art of Top Cow celebrates the artwork of Top Cow CEO and founder Marc Silvestri as well as alumni of the famous Top Cow Artist “Pit.” This definitive art collection chronicles the visual impact that Marc Silvestri’s artwork and his personal training of the in-house artists of Top Cow had on the face of comic art.
The Art of Top Cow reproduces the best artwork from 16 years of Top Cow’s publishing legacy, featuring fan-favorite properties such as The Darkness, Witchblade, and Cyberforce. Famous alumni of the Top Cow “Pit” included in The Art of Top Cow are artists Michael Turner, Dave Finch, Joe Benitez, Eric Basaldua, Dale Keown, Stjepan Sejic, and many, many more.
Never-before-seen photographs and behind-the-scenes stories compliment the artwork in The Art of Top Cow, illustrating the rise of Top Cow’s place in the comic market.
“Marc Silvestri is one of the greats among comic artists and this volume will showcase that, but the true impact Marc has had on the comic industry is in the legacy of artists he has trained,” commented Filip Sablik, Top Cow Publisher, “You only need to look at top projects in the industry to see alumni like Finch, Benitez, Turner, Tan, Manapul, Choi, and many, many more.”
