Superhero comic books usually call for two things: muscles and action. Comic book artists are constantly looking for sources for those superhuman muscles, and now Muscles in Motion will heed their cry for help. While most figure—drawing books focus on static poses, Muscles in Motion analyzes the movement of bodybuilders and athletes, showing the flow of action in step—by—step intervals. With 800 dynamic drawings taken directly from the sketchbook of award—winning artist Glenn Fabry, plus Fabry's insightful commentary on those drawings, this is the single most practical book on figure drawing for comic book artists, beginning, intermediate, and advanced.

   * Glenn Fabry is the Eisner Award-winning artist who has drawn iconic characters from the Incredible Hulk, to Spider-Man and Batman, to Thor and The Endles
   * The 800 full-figure sketches in dynamic mid-action poses give new meaning to the term "muscle-bound"
   * Shows the artist's self-instructional techniques

Glenn Fabry's work has been seen on the pages of DC Comics' Vertigo imprint, most notably in Hellblazer, The Authority, and Preacher. He is the artist of Birds of Prey, written by Chuck Dixon, and the best—selling Daredevil: Human Target, written by film director Kevin Smith. Fabry is also the author of Anatomy for Fantasy Artists. He lives in Brighton, England.
