The Art of Rudy Nebres


In case you haven't heard of him, Rudy Nebres is one of the many Filipino artists that were employed in the American Comics industry during the 60's and 70's. I came to know him from his work in Warren's Vampirella and was immediately drawn to his fluid and expressive line and mastery of the "feathered brush" inking technique.
This book is not an overview of his work in Warren, Marvel or DC, but rather a collection of black and white pinups that showcase his unique style. Some are pencil drawings while others are inked with only the cover and back cover having color. This is really not that bad since Rudy's art works better in black and white. The subject matter is mainly fantasy with many drawings of Conan, Red Sonja, Tarzan and a variety of scantily clad women with a bit of nudity here and there, but not much.
