ALEX ROSS: I knew that another painted project from me would not get across the simple graphic impression I wanted to make with the FF team’s rendering and Pop Era style. The era of the ’60s and ’70s had a bold Day-Glo use of color in various parts of the culture, and I wanted to connect with that. The flat color approach would also test whether my art would hold up in an era with limited production capabilities.

Praise

Ross’ painted artwork in 1994's Marvels and 1996's Kingdom Come grounded Marvel and DC’s superheroes in hyper-stylish realism, and his distinctive style still makes him one of the most in-demand cover artists in comics. That’s why it was a surprise to learn he changed up his art process for his newest project. Ross created the art in Full Circle using pencil and ink and flat coloring to capture the retro Pop Art vibe he sought with his original story.

Manning "1990s" in Dolan, p. 289: "The second in the oversized prestige-format tabloid collaborations between writer Paul Dini and painter Alex Ross, Batman: War on Crime was just as successful as its predecessor, and just as beautiful."MARVEL.COM: Like any good sci-fi comic, Fantastic Four: Full Circle uses a lot of pseudo-science, particularly in Reed's dialogue. How did you set out to approach that? Ross’ comics fandom has been an integral part of his career. His fondness for the heroes of comics’ Silver and Bronze Age informed his work on Marvels, as well as the tabloid-size specials he did for DC Comics with Batman: The Animated Series writer Paul Dini. He points out he is a fan of the Marvel films, but wishes they were more faithful to the source material. DC Direct, the collectibles division of DC Comics, has produced three sets of action figures from the comic book Kingdom Come based on Alex Ross's artwork. The first set of figures included Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Hawkman. The second set included Batman, Red Robin, Captain Marvel, and Kid Flash. The last set included Magog, Flash, Armored Wonder Woman, and Deadman. An exclusive figure of Red Arrow was released through ToyFare magazine. DC Direct also released several other Ross-designed characters through their Elseworlds toylines. These figures included the Spectre, Norman McCay, Jade, Nightstar, Aquaman, and Blue Beetle. Ross designed the costume the current incarnation of Batwoman wears; this character has been released in action-figure form by DC Direct as part of its "52" line of toys. Ross won the Comics Buyer's Guide's CBG Fan Award for Favorite Painter seven years in a row, [61] resulting in that publication's retirement of that category. Comics Buyer's Guide Senior Editor Maggie Thompson commented in regard to this in 2010, "Ross may simply be the field's Favorite Painter, period. That's despite the fact that many outstanding painters are at work in today's comic books." [62] Ross was also named Best Cover Artist by the CBG Awards 11 years in a row, from 1995 to 2005.
