One of my favorite comic book artists of all time is Adam Hughes. He is a master at what he does and has been doing it for over 30 years. His style is commonly referred to as “cheesecake style” amongst those in the industry and he carries a tremendous following as he’s one of the most well respected artists in the industry.
That’s why I was super pumped to fly him out to our shop for a signing in 2015. It was the week that our exclusive variants for Spider-Gwen #1 were released, and Adam did 3 versions for us. He actually came to the shop for a Wednesday night and Saturday signing. Our customers still talk about it to this day and it’s one of my proudest moments regarding my shop.
I’ll do a piece on that in the near future as I’ve been meaning to for a while. Lots to discuss on that but today, I’d like to just showcase a run that he did on the Catwoman series for DC Comics. I absolutely love this run and I get LOST looking at it!!!
He started covers on issue #44 which hit the stands in August of 2005 and finished the run on #82 which came out on October of 2008. Then a year and a half later in March of 2010, they released #83 to tie into the Blackest Night storyline. Adam did the cover for that one as well.
Quick side note...Adam also has one of the coolest signatures in the biz!!!
Anyway, today I’d just like to show off his entire complete coves from his Catwoman run. This run is highly coveted amongst collectors because they feature absolutely breathtaking works of art. It’s a fairly expensive run to put together nowadays as the “commons” of the run will still set ya back $6-$10 bucks a pop...while a large portion will be in the $12-$20 range. There are a few that will put a hurting on ya for $25-$40, while the crown jewel of the run in #51 will set ya back a full Benjamin!!!
