From J.C. Leyendecker and Norman Rockwell, George Bridgman and Andrew Loomis, Hal Foster and Alex Raymond, Noel Sickles and Milton Cannif, Jack Kirby and Will Eisner, Alex Toth and Russ Manning, Jim Steranko and Paul Gulacy comes... Steve "The Dude" Rude!  Yes, The co-creator of Nexus continues to hold high the ideals of fine comic art illustration and he's still at it!  Here in this 176 page, full color softcover yearbook, you'll come face to face with roughs, sketches, work-ups, drawings, studies and paintings, almost all executed by Rude in the past year (2023).  He's still got it!  This book will, of course, primarily be of interest to long time fans of Rude's work, but any working comics artist or illustrator will come away from studying this volume with an appreciation of Rude's dedication and hard work – and, more importantly, a greater understanding of "how it's done."

HOLIDAY SET SPECIAL:  a complete five-issue set of NEXUS: The Newspaper Strips Volume Two – Battle for Thuneworld is included FREE with purchase of The Art of Steve Rude 2024, through the end of 2024.
