Never before seen Venture Bros. artwork! ***--Customer Review - RicBret -One of my favorite books is a magnificent study of design specifically about...*** "One of my favorite books is a magnificent study of design specifically about of Ken Adams work on the James Bond movies ***Ken Adam Designs the Movies: James Bond and Beyond***. It’s a complete, beautiful, exhaustive work. So I was hoping for the same attitude for this book. And I was not let down. "Go Team Venture! The Art and Making of The Venture Bros." takes exactly the same tact on six seasons of the Venture Bros. show as the Ken Adam book on James Bond. It is its equal, if not superior in several ways. So relieved not to to have been let down this time! Great hardcover production and binding, exquisite paper, deeply vivid images, and production work that really gives you insight into how these complex and hilarious characters and stories have evolved. Certainly for fans, but also for people who study design and property consistency in any form. Recommended."
