Chicago “Marvelocity is everything a Ross fan could want in a coffee-table book! showcasing his mastery of covers! concepts! and content. There are original photo references! sketches that showcase his early evolution as a designer! and even adorable childhood scribblings. One walks away from Marvelocity realizing Alex Ross is truly sui generis and unlikely to ever be matched." – Abraham Riesman!
