And some of the contents:

Bill Sienkiewicz is best known for his work on Marvel Comics titles included here, such as New Mutants, Moon Knight, and Elektra: Assassin, and his work is considered revolutionary in the medium. He also co-created the series Big Numbers and the graphic novel Brought To Light, both with Alan Moore and his own series Stray Toasters. He has also worked on Wolverine, Batman, Superman,  Moby Dick, 30 Days of Night: Beyond Barrow, Reign in Hell, Daredevil: End of Days, as well more recently, working as an inker for Marvel and DC on a number of projects. Outside of comics, he has drawn many posters and album covers, as well as the TV series Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego? But the work in this book is likely to be what he will most be remembered for.
