Glen Fabry was responsible for all of the covers for Preacher's
entire run. Now every piece of his artwork for this series
is reproduces unencumbered by text and logos for the first
time. Included are 66 issue covers, the spin-off series and
graphic novel covers, posters, trading cards and (for the
first time seen in print) two covers that were deemed too
extreme for publication...
Preacher:
Dead or Alive is a strange idea for a collection. I read
the original series and loved it. And it was the covers that
stood out from the rows and rows of other comics.
Personally,
while I found this collection interesting, I would think twice
about parting with my money. While there is plenty of information
on each cover (Fabry marks himself out of 10 for most of his
work), black and white illustrations of rough work and an
introduction from Garth Ennis, I still found myself wanting
more for the £15 asking price.
Oh,
and what happened to the two banned covers that the press
release promised me? I couldn't find them anywhere in this
collection.
Fabry
fans will no doubt soak this up, but I felt a little cheated
- mind you I already own 99% of these covers anyway. If you
are a Preacher fan you will probably also own these covers,
and are additional text inserts really worth spending the
money on? Personally, I doubt it.
More
a collection for art students who want to see how comic art
should be done.
