You don’t have to be a fan of comics to know the name Bruce Timm, the subject of Modern Masters Volume 3. As a producer, director and designer of the Emmy Award-winning Batman: The Animated Series, as well as The Superman Adventures, Batman Beyond, and currently Justice League, Timm is making an enormous impact in the field of animation, creating work that both kids and adults can equally enjoy. His impact also extends into the comic book industry—Timm’s first foray into comics was the Eisner Award-winning The Batman Adventures: Mad Love, and his soon to be released mini-series Harley and Ivy is a highly-anticipated event. Now, this third volume in the new Modern Masters series spotlights the artist’s career, with his most comprehensive interview to date, discussing his influences, how his style evolved, and what it takes to succeed in both comics and animation. It also showcases page after page of rare and unseen artwork, including a gallery of his best commissioned work, as well as behind the scenes animation concepts! Often imitated but never equalled, he blends the cartoony and the realistic in such a way that is undeniably appealing, and this book is the ultimate look at the work of a true Modern Master: Bruce Timm!
