The third volume in the boutique art book series produced by Marvel and Clover Press and showcasing the work of some of Marvel’s most well-known artists is titled The Marvel Art of David Nakayama. The range of Nakayama’s artistic skill goes well beyond the realm of comic books. The highly regarded creator first experimented with video games after breaking into the field, then went back to his comic book roots. Since that time, Nakayama has created illustrations for several of Marvel’s most well-known characters, including the X-Men, Spider-Man, Deadpool, and many more.

Additionally, Nakayama provided CBR with an exclusive remark about his work and career in the comic book industry.”One of my favourite memories is participating in a MegaCon panel called “The Art Of The Cover” with J. Scott Campbell, my all-time favourite artist, where we discussed how to create a captivating cover for an hour.You know, it’s not simply draughtsmanship.Excellent artwork alone won’t cut it. Humour, an optical illusion, sex appeal, a creative scenario, a pop-culture allusion, an innovative graphic style, the use of striking colours, etc.—or all of these—will also make a cover genuinely stand out. The key is that it must somehow stand out and grab the viewer’s attention. That is what I consider every day.

The Marvel Art of David Nakayama will not only include some of the namesake creator’s most well-known pieces, but it will also present fans with “rare and never-before-seen artwork.” In the original press release for the book, Nakayama stated his enthusiasm. “Hey guys, I’m pumped! Fans have been begging me for an Art Book for YEARS, and now I’m pleased to announce that it’s finally happening!” He shouted. Nakayama also gave credit to the series’ publishers, The Marvel Art Of. According to him, his work will be displayed “in the best quality also, due to the wonderful people at Clover Press. I’ve combed through my archives and put together work from almost ten years ago!, starting with my early Marvel Adventures work and continuing through the current Hellfire Gala covers. This is undoubtedly the method to obtain the complete collection of my work if you have ever desired it.
