In 1992, Joe Jusko’s Marvel Masterpieces trading card set exploded into pop culture—redefining how the world saw superheroes with raw power, larger-than-life drama, and breathtaking realism in every brushstroke. It became a cultural landmark, inspiring generations of fans, artists, and collectors.
Now—due to overwhelming demand—we’re opening the vaults to celebrate the full scope of Jusko’s legendary career.
The Book of Jusko is a deluxe, 9″ x 12″ 230+ page hardcover art book, curated by comics veteran Joe Pruett, that showcases the very best of Jusko’s painted legacy. Inside you’ll discover iconic illustrations, rare and unpublished works, private commissions, trading cards, and personal archive pieces—some revealed here for the very first time.
This is not just an art book. It is a masterpiece, and through Kickstarter, we’re turning this release into a true collector’s experience.
Few artists have left as bold a mark on comics and fantasy illustration as Joe Jusko. Bursting onto the scene in the late ’70s, Jusko quickly built a reputation for his powerful, hyper-realistic paintings that brought larger-than-life heroes and worlds to vivid detail. His legendary work on the 1992 Marvel Masterpieces trading cards became a cultural touchstone, igniting the collector’s market and inspiring a generation of fans and artists alike.
Over the decades, Jusko’s art has graced the covers of Marvel and DC Comics, Conan the Barbarian, Vampirella, and the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs, cementing him as one of the most celebrated fantasy and comic illustrators in the world. His unique blend of dramatic realism, intensity, and his painterly style has earned him both critical acclaim and an enduring place in pop culture history.
Now, fans can experience another epic stage of Jusko’s incredible career in this definitive art collection—capturing the images that defined generations and showcasing the master at the height of his powers.
