The Art Of Greg Horn vols. 1 & 2
(2004/2010 - Image Comics) 
vol.1 It probably says more about me than the artist that while I think the artwork displayed is great, I find the book a bit 'over-designed' - so busy as to be distracting. 144 pages with 112 art-pages and 106 of those being 'well-presented' full-page reproductions. In that art pool, I will flag that there are a dozen double-page spreads, but only a third of them make acceptable use of the book's gutter. Any number of his brief anecdotes appear on the art-pages themselves, but the other pages are indeed utilized to convey more of his thoughts, biography & comics-drawing history, along with pictures of his models and a healthy "watch me work" section. His comic cover work is the meat of the book, with numerous Marvel characters, most notably Electra & The White Queen-Emma Frost, and Black Tiger and his own J.U.D.G.E. for independent companies. The rest is a good sampling of his editorial, movie and gaming work. There's a lot of action and suggested violence, but I think you'll find that many of the pieces fit the pin-up mold more than any other.
vol.2 Promoted with the additional title of COVER STORIES (though that seems to appear nowhere in the book other than on the cover image), this volume actually scores-out as the better of these two. As a follow-up volume, it is able to focus even more on the art, since most of the exposition about the artist's biography & style has already been taken care of. So out of the same 144 pages this volume has 134 featuring the art (112 large reproductions and 22 gathering multiple images together). There are only six images here that flow over the book's central gutter and only one of those flunks completely because of it. This time, the artist's thoughts still appear as anecdotes accompaning most of the full page pieces, but I will mention that those anecdotes, along with title-or-use caption & copyright information are frequently overlaid on the art pieces themselves - or perhaps just as annoying, sometimes the anecdotes are turned sideways to run up the liner. Reading my comment above about that book's layout & design, I can report that this volume is a bit calmer and add that several of the beautiful pieces in that first book reappear here.
