Sean Phillips

[V]

Phillips began his career in British comics working with John Smith on New Statesmen and Straitgate, as well as Pat Mills on Third World War both at Crisis. He was part of the British Invasion, getting work on Hellblazer before returning to the UK. There he most notably Devlin Waugh for the Judge Dredd Megazine but also provided the art on a number of series for 2000 AD including Judge Dredd.
He returned to the American comic book industry in 2000 when he inked Scene of the Crime written by Ed Brubaker, a writer he would collaborate with a number of times over the following years. He moved on to Wildstorm for a long run on WildC.A.T.s with Joe Casey before teaming up Brubaker on Sleeper.
Phillips went over to Marvel Comics in 2005 where he joined Brubaker on Criminal at the Marvel imprint Icon[2][3] and he also became the main artist on the first two installments of the Marvel Zombies series with Robert Kirkman.
Recent work includes Incognito, another series with Brubaker at Icon[4] and a US reprint of 7 Psychopaths at Boom! Studios.[5]
Phillips has also provided the art for the Criterion Collection release of the 1961 noir film Blast of Silence.[6]
On April 9, 2011 Phillips was one of 62 comics creators who appeared at the IGN stage at the Kapow! convenntion in London to set two Guinness World Records, the Fastest Production of a Comic Book, and Most Contributors to a Comic Book. With Guinness officials on hand to monitor their progress, writer Mark Millar began work at 9am scripting a 20-page black and white Superior comic book, with Phillips and the other artists appearing on stage throughout the day to work on the pencils, inks, and lettering, including Dave Gibbons, Frank Quitely, John Romita Jr., Jock,[7] Doug Braithwaite, Ian Churchill, Olivier Coipel, Duncan Fegredo, Simon Furman, David Lafuente, John McCrea, and Liam Sharp,[8] who all drew a panel each, with regular Superior artist Leinil Yu creating the book's front cover. The book was completed in 11 hours, 19 minutes, and 38 seconds, and was published through Icon on November 23, 2011, with all royalties being donated to Yorkhill Children's Foundation.

Bravissimo questo disegnatore, mi piace molto 

[Angel Lupo]

Un mostro.

[Azrael]

Mi sa purtroppo che non ho letto niente di suo!
Però "Fatale".... vedremo

Jekyll e Hyde non lo hai letto?

[Azrael]

Jekyll e Hyde non lo hai letto?

Ah ecco, l'avevo dimenticato 
Mi sa che lo metto tra le riletture entro il fine settimana

La miglior storia di Due Facce insieme a "Gli occhi di chi osserva" e la storia di Bruce Timm di Black and Withe 

[Mordecai Wayne]

Gli sono state commissionate le cover delle nuove edizioni in BD di The Night Stalker e The Night Strangler in uscita il prossimo 2 ottobre per la Kino Classics (USA):

 

[Solomon]

Belle
Come si faceva una volta, quando le locandine cinematografiche venivano affidate a illustratori e a fumettisti famosi, prima che si iniziasse a fare tutto a fotografia

[Mordecai Wayne]

Le etichette indipendenti usano spesso degli illustratori per le cover delle loro edizioni homevideo.
Criterion, Shout! Factory, Arrow Video hanno tutte illustrazioni commissionate da artisti di vario calibro.
Porto ad esempio l'illustrazione di Becky Cloonan per il BD di Pan's Labyrinth e di Guy Davis per The Devil's Backbone:

 

[Solomon]

Non sapevo, belle

Bravo Davis, ma Mignola sarebbe stato perfetto.

[Mordecai Wayne]

Si potrebbe creare un topic apposito 
Ecco altri splendidi esempi.
La cover di Topsy-Turvy della Shimizu (illustrava le cover di Unwritten) e un'altra di Sean Phillips per On the Waterfront

 

Sempre Sean Phillips questa volta per The Sweet Smell of Success e una di Seth per Make Way for Tomorrow:

 

Ce ne sono anche molte altre bellissime di illustratori che non hanno a che vedere direttamente con il fumetto.

[Un Fumettaro]

Il disegnatore britannico Sean Phillips – noto per le sue collaborazioni con lo scrittore Ed Brubaker su titoli come Fatale e Criminal – ha realizzato una serie di copertine di riedizioni in DVD di film per la Criterion Collection.

I film per cui Phillips ha prestato le matite sono classici del cinema americano, e vanno da La grande fuga a Fronte del porto, passando per La notte dei morti viventi. Eccole di seguito (con i relativi titoli italiani in didascalia).


La grande fuga


La parola ai giurati


Il romanzo di Mildred


Piombo rovente


Mister Johnson


Esecuzione di un eroe


La calda notte dell'ispettore Tibbs


Fronte del porto


Cronaca di un assassinio


La notte dei morti viventi

[Mordecai Wayne]

Molto belle si. Le ho quasi tutte.

[HCPunk]

Quant'è bravo..
