Hi Parka,

Thanks fort he great reviews. I have a question that I am aware can only be answered on a personal basis. Comparing Alex Ross's books (Rough Justice and Mythology) and Jim Lee's Icons, which one would you say is the best book for an aspiring artist to study in terms of technique, design, and figure construction in general? Again, I know the answer can only be personal -- but I'd appreciate to hear your take on that.

And to add an even less fair question to this post: if you were to pick only one out of these three books, which one would you pick, and why?

Thanks!
