In a bit of recent online scuttlebutt, the name of Mad Men lead Jon Hamm came up in connection to the casting of Marvel's upcoming Captain America movie. The chap credited with this rather inspired notion, was comic book artist Alex Ross.
Ross shot to prominence more than a decade ago. The Portland-born illustrator's instantly recognisable, and instantly iconic, depictions of many of the world's most famous superheroes were (and remain) a thing to behold. 'Cause as his rather canny 'Don Draper as superhero' observation kinda suggests, Alex Ross is a dude who thinks about bone structure. A lot. His versions of Supes and Batman et al, actually look like people. Enviably broad shouldered, really really good-looking people, to be sure. But people all the same.More...
