Alex Ross opens his private sketchbooks to reveal his astonishing pencil and ink drawings of DC Comics characters, nearly all of them appearing in print here for the first time.
Thousands of fans from around the world have trilled to Alex’s fully rendered photo-realistic painting of their favorite heroes, but as they may not realize, all of those works start as pencil on paper, and the origins of the finished images are rarely seen. Until now.
From deleted scenes and altered panels for the epic Kingdom Come saga to proposals for revamping such classic properties as Batgirl, Captain Marvel, and an imagined son of Batman named Batboy, to unused alternate comic book cover ideas for the monthly Superman and Batman comics of 2008-2009, there is much to surprise and delight anyone who thought they already know all of Alex’s DC Comics work.
Illuminating everything is Alex’s own commentary, written expressly for this book, explaining his though processes and stylistic approaches for the various riffs and reimaginings of characters we thought we knew everything about but whose possibilities we didn’t fully understand.
As a record of a pivotal era in comics history, Rough Justice is a must for Alex’s legion of fans, as well as anyone interested in masterly comic book imagination and illustration.
Nelson Alexander "Alex" Ross is an American comic book painter, illustrator, and plotter, acclaimed for the photorealism of his work. He is praised for his realistic, human depictions of classic comic book characters.[1] Since the 1990s he has done work for Marvel Comics and DC Comics (e.g. Marvels and Kingdom Come, respectively), as well as being involved in creating independent works featuring superheroes (e.g. Astro City and Project Superpowers. Because his painting style is time-consuming, he primarily serves as a plotter and/or cover artist. Comics Buyer's Guide Senior Editor Maggie Thompson, commenting on that publication's retirement of the Favorite Painter award from their CBG Fan Awards due to Ross' domination of that category, stated 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."[2]
Ross' rendering style, his attention to detail, and the perceived tendency of his characters to be depicted staring off into the distance has been satirized in Mad magazine.[

这本书真是让我大开眼界,作者的叙事功力简直是炉火纯青。他笔下的人物栩栩如生,每一个都有自己复杂的内心世界和令人信服的动机。我特别喜欢他处理情节转折的方式,总是那么自然而然,仿佛水到渠成,但又在不经意间给你带来巨大的冲击。读到一半的时候,我几乎无法放下手中的书,每一个章节的结尾都像一个精心设置的钩子,拽着你迫不及待地想知道接下来会发生什么。更难能可贵的是,作者在构建这个宏大的故事背景时,对细节的把握达到了令人发指的程度,无论是社会结构的描绘,还是特定场景的氛围渲染,都显得无比真实可信。这不仅仅是一个故事,更像是一部微缩的人性百科全书,探讨了关于忠诚、背叛、牺牲以及救赎等永恒的主题。我感觉自己仿佛走进了书中的世界,与角色同呼吸、共命运,那种沉浸式的阅读体验是近年来少有的。全书的节奏把握得非常精准,高潮迭起,低谷之处又充满哲思,读完之后留给读者的回味是漫长而深刻的。
评分说实话,这本书带来的情绪冲击力是爆炸性的。它不只是讲述了一个故事,它更像是一次情感的洗礼。书中某些场景的描写真是达到了“残酷”的程度,但这种残酷并非为了猎奇或煽情,而是为了凸显人在极端压力下所展现出的原始生命力。我读到激动时手心冒汗,读到悲伤时眼眶湿润,这种强烈的情感代入感,是优秀文学作品的标志之一。作者似乎毫不避讳地展示了世界的粗粝和不公,但与此同时,他又在最黑暗的角落里,精准地捕捉并放大了一丝微弱的人类光芒——也许是小小的善意,也许是顽强的希望。这种光与影的强烈对比,让整个阅读体验既沉重又充满了力量感,让人在震撼之余,感受到一种积极向上的、虽然充满坎坷但值得坚持的力量。这绝对是一次酣畅淋漓的精神冒险。
评分我得坦诚地说,一开始我对这种题材并不是特别感冒,觉得可能又是一部老生常谈的戏剧冲突集合。然而,这本书彻底颠覆了我的预期。它的精彩之处在于,它没有简单地将人物脸谱化,而是深入挖掘了“灰色地带”。书中几乎没有绝对的好人或坏人,每个人都在自身环境和道德困境中挣扎求存。这种模糊性使得整个故事充满了张力,每一次抉择都让人揪心,因为你清楚地知道,无论选择哪条路,都将伴随着无法弥补的代价。作者的高明之处在于,他没有给出简单的道德评判,而是将所有的评判权交给了读者。这种开放式的结局和复杂的道德迷宫,让我读完后久久不能平复,不停地在脑海中重演那些关键场景,思考如果是我,会做出怎样的选择。它对人性的复杂性和环境对个体塑造的深刻洞察,令人叹服。
评分这本书的结构设计简直是鬼斧神工,我很少看到有人能将如此多线索、跨越如此长时间的故事编织得如此天衣无缝。作者似乎对时间有着独特的掌控力,他可以在快节奏的动作场面和慢节奏的内心独白之间自由切换,而每一次切换都恰到好处地服务于整体的叙事节奏。特别是那些穿插其中的历史背景资料或档案片段,非但没有打断阅读的流畅性,反而像一块块拼图,逐渐清晰地勾勒出了事件的全貌。这需要极高的组织能力和对信息投放的精准控制。读完之后,你会有一种“啊,原来如此”的豁然开朗感,但这种领悟是建立在对之前所有细枝末节的注意之上的。它考验了读者的耐心,但也以其缜密和严谨回报了这份耐心。整体感觉非常扎实,逻辑链条几乎找不到任何断裂的地方。
评分这本书的文字功底,我得说,是相当有嚼劲的。它不像那种轻飘飘的流水账,而是充满了力量感和画面感。作者似乎非常擅长使用比喻和象征,很多句子读起来简直像诗歌一样凝练而富有张力。我尤其欣赏他对环境和光影的描写,那种冷峻、甚至有些压抑的笔调,完美地烘托了故事的基调。初读时可能会觉得有些晦涩,需要放慢脚步,细细品味每一个词语的精妙组合,但一旦你适应了这种独特的语感,你会发现其中蕴含的巨大能量。它不是那种让你读完后只剩下一声叹息的畅销书,而是会让你停下来,反复阅读某些段落,试图去解析其中深层的含义。这种需要读者付出思考和努力才能完全领会的作品,才是真正有价值的文学。它挑战了我的阅读习惯,但最终的回报是巨大的,让我重新审视了自己对叙事文学的一些固有认知。

评分虽然对Alex Ross的彩图已经审美疲劳,他的草图还是很带劲的。还有一点,Alex Ross的画集一向价格亲民,这点很赞。
