TWOMORROWS PUBLISHING

TwoMorrows Publishing has been churning out comic book-related magazines and books since 1994 and has expanded to include some more geek-related publications such as Brick Journal (about Lego collecting). The first and foremost publication they have is The Jack Kirby Collector which we talked about a few posts ago, now we're going to deal with their other publications.


ALTER EGO # 3, 16, 30, 55 & 75: This magazine deals with the Golden and Silver Age of Comics, with interviews with past creators and new ones about how influential these periods were to them. The covers to issues 3, 16, 55 and 75 (pictured above) have Shazam related images because this magazine has a section called Fawcett Collectors of America (FCA) and if you remember, Fawcett Camics were the original publishers of Shazam and Alex is a huge fan of this character. The cover of issue 30 (not pictured) is a reprint of a panel from the treasury-sized JLA: Liberty & Justice. So casual collectors don't need to get this, completists like myself, do. Some of these issues contain interviews with Alex Ross. Sadly, none of these issues are IN MY COLLECTION.



















BACK ISSUE # 5 & 30: This magazine is the counterpart to Alter Ego, this one deals with comics from the 70's to present day. I can't point out enough those gorgeous covers from 2004 and 2008 featuring Linda Carter (TV's Wonder Woman) and Jackson Bostwick (TV's Captain Marvel) rendered by Alex, they are awesome! they are well worth the price of the issue. Again, These issues are not IN MY COLLECTION so I can't comment on its contentS, but I love the covers from up here!


COMIC BOOK ARTIST #1: This is the only magazine from this publisher that I have IN MY COLLECTION. The cover (left) is a classic image of Superman drawn by Neal Adams and painted by Alex Ross. It's such an iconic image and it's made by these 2 creators whose styles are all about realism. Inside there's a joint interview with both creators. This interview with Alex continued in issue 2, which has a Frank Cho cover (not Alex), and it also has cool new sketches and images inside, like this image of the "Ambiguously Gay Duo" painted by Ross (right), only found here. Don't know who they are? click here and have a good laugh!
