I first knew Jim Lee’s name from Batman: Hush, but has been hooked by his art from the 90s X-men. Only at that time I didn’t know his name because his version of X-Men’s books were never published in my country. You can only find the imported books in hobby shops. I only knew the arts from pin ups with no signature, printed to accompany the 90s X-Men TV series synopsis on kid’s tabloids.
I lost contact with american comic book after elementary school, and only interested to read again when Batman: Hush, with Jim Lee’s art, was published here. Definitely will purchase this when it come out.
