Art of Nick Cardy
John Coates,Kurt Busiek
Nick Cardy has been a cartoonist and illustrator for over 50 years. Spanning the Golden Age to the present, Cardy’s career began in 1939 with the Eisner-Iger shop, which produced the Spirit newspaper supplement, Plastic Man comic books and more. Cardy went on to illustrate newspaper strips, including Tarzan, and enjoyed a 25 year association with DC Comics before moving on to magazine and movie poster illustration. As well as being one of DC Comics’ top Batman and Superman cover artists, fans remember that in the 1960s, Nick helped define comics’ Silver Age with sequential artwork on Aquaman , Teen Titans , and Bat Lash. The artist’s contributions to the comic book industry earned him the prestigious Ink Pot Award for Outstanding achievement. Cardy did occasional non-comics illustration work throughout the decades in which he focused primarily on comic books and strips. But in 1975 the artist decided to focus on non-comics illustration, particularly movie and television work. Some of the properties he worked on include Bad News Bears, Return of the Pink Panther, Meatballs II, California Suite, and even Apocalypse Now. This Eisner Award-nominated volume offers an exploration of Cardy’s art career.
