    Mr. Alex Ross, if you read this message , I want to tell you that it is an honor to see your videos about your art , which is undoubtedly beautiful, both in DC and Marvel.
    His comics that I have are Kingdom Come and Marvels are my favorites ❤

    The transition from sepia tone frames to technicolor frames is so genius. That’s very much in the essence of golden age and silver age comics.

    These blew my mind in the 90s, I live in Finland where access to comics was limited and publishing these was probably a passion project of someone working in a larger publishing company. Before this, it never came to me that you could mix water color and super hero stories, instead of limiting it to European art comics with adult themes.

    This series blew me away the first time I read it (new from the comic book shop). I immediately wanted to paint like you. I never achieved anywhere near that. I met you at a signing in St. Louis around the time "Kingdom Come" came out and was pretty "fanboyed" at meeting you. I said a few ridiculous things and went on my way. Thanks for the great work.

    Hi Alex! I love your job. But I still prefer to believe that the character is a tribute to one of the greatest film directors and illustrators, the Canadian Frédéric Back, Oscar winner for the animation "The Man Who Planted Trees", based on a homonymous story by the Frenchman Jean Giono. His physical appearance greatly resembles Philip Sheldon, including the eyepatch. The resemblance is very great between this director and the character from Marvels. :) Keep creating! o/

    I remember when this came out and I gave almost every person I knew a guided tour of how incredible it was... It was like NOTHING I had ever seen. It was the first time REALLY seeing these characters as living, breathing people (or mutants or aliens or whatever)

    Kingdom Come is still one of the best stories I have ever read. It inspired me to make my own science-fantasy universe filled with heroes, villains, and those in between. Each with great power and responsibilities, and with said power, significant consequences.
