Alex Ross did it all, achieved all his goals by the time he was 30. He is a blessed dude with talent and a burning passion to comic books. Long live AR.

Alex, your art is unparallel to any other comic book art I've ever seen!

As a young child of the 70's Battle of the Planets was my intro to anime. Time to make a feature film asap! Such great memories!

"and those guys are just workers!" Anyone who like me grew up watching Battle of the Planets (and the electric company for that matter ^_^ ) was blown away seeing how almost every episode starts off introducing us to a bunch of incidental background characters who are all slaughtered wholesale in a matter of minutes. Alex, thank you SO MUCH for helping this show come back untouched.

Grew up watching BOP as a kid in the 1970's ... it was as powerful to me then as a drama is to me today ... extremely visceral and with some pretty heavy story lines at times. That show has never left me and formed a massive part of my childhood consciousness - Jason was my favourite member then and remains so to this day some 40 odd years later. The Yanks did the same thing to Gatchaman as they did to the Original Australian Mad Max ... just couldn't leave it alone.

Alex is a lot younger than I expected it just shows that his talent is beyond his years.

One of my favorite artists of all time.

Alex Ross is soooo damn articulate! His voice is way deeper than I imagined.

That last line is SO POWERFUL…. If you love something so completely, and put ALL of your passion into creating something related to it, an homage to it, and do so with a pure heart, your effort WILL be noticed, and perhaps, celebrated. It’s true. I hope you find this out for yourself, and are able to enjoy the good feelings that explode out of what happens next.

Honestly, I didn't know who the fuck Alex Ross was until he mentioned Kingdom Come. HOLY SHIT!!! Epic stuff lad. I love his work on that. I'm super excited by The Russo Brothers' announcement.

ガッチャマンはかっこいいですよね。私も好きです。

The art on the Part 1 DVD is so crisp. Thanks Alex Ross!

Kingdom Come is one of the greatest comics I have ever read, along with All-Star Superman and the Return of the Dark Knight.

I want that shirt!!😭 this is my all time favorite anime from childhood. 😍😍

Honestly Alex Ross commentating on the ADV dub of Gatchaman as he draws some of his murals for the series is the most Based shit I have ever seen in anime. I remember watching Gatchaman during the 90s post-anime ban Korea where it was translated as Eagle Five Brothers. It was one of my go-to series next to the Brave Series.

🦆🕊️🦉🦅🐦 This guys art IS truly AMAZING‼️🐦🦉🦅🕊️🦆 reminds me of those awesome Slane' & Hellraiser comics from the late 1980's... loved his work on Flash Gordon also... DEATH TO MING‼️🌟🌠💫✨⭐🌌☄️🚀🛰️

I love Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets

He really likes it and his art of it shows. I aspire to be like him

His gatchaman paintings are seriously some of the most visually arresting he's ever created.

Alex Ross, IMO, is the standard for wich all comic artist should be measured.

I bought every Alex Ross cover for the comic book series... when I got to the end of the last one (and they said it was last one on the last page), my heart sank...

Hell to the yea!! G- Force rulled and still rules!!! Favs are Tiny,Keopt he was cool even With his studder!!!

kingdom come and earth history X were great novels. I too watched battle of the planets/gatchaman as a child, and boy, it stands the test of time. I can't even relate to people nowadays how it was the progenitor of power rangers. They were the quintessential color coded five person superhero team, driving mecha. Interestingly, shogun warriors were licensed from marvel to use Spiderman in their own show. He is NOTHING like our Spiderman, and eh even has his own giant flying spider mecha robo. Anyways, i'll stop being nostalgic now. One of the best things about Gatchman to me was how the female superhero, Jun, only needed to be saved exactly once in the entire series. She wasn't forced to be the helpless female eye candy, she was an integral part of the team and always pulled her own weight, like every member did.

"And those guys are just workers!" lol!

this guy is the greatest painter living

One of the most pervasive urban legends holds that the original Gatchaman scripts often had G-4 (Jinpei) telling Galactor agents where to shove it and/or telling dirty jokes.

Amazing artist!!!! So much respect for this man. 🙌🏼

Gatchaman is my number 1 favorite tatsunoko anime and Super hero Anime series of all time. Gatchaman and also hurricane polymar.

Your passion and output for everything you create is very appreciated Alex.... accept for money grabs like generations... by Marvel

before DBZ before Sailor Moon before Pokemon before Bleach before Naruto before One Peice before Ghost in The Shell before Full Metal Alcamist before Cowboy Bebop thier was Astro Boy (the only Anime my mom likes) Speed Racher and GATCHAMAN!

Gatchaman best cartoon ever

As Fred Wolf tried a follow-up on "Mach Go-go-go", I could imagine someone approaching Alex Ross to do storyboards for a stateside "Gatchaman 21" or "BotP 21". This comes from the same line of thought that imagines Matthew Lilliard voicing the field commander in either hypothetical project.

waw amazing

it would be cool too see a Tatsunoko vs Capcom poster done by Ross. lol

Gatchaman kick ass. 😀👍

I really like that Mark statue behind you!

alex, u r great, i love u work

JUST LOOK AT ALL THAT GATCHAMAN GOODNESS BEHIND HIM!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I loved BOTP when I was a kid. Even more than Star Wars, Superman, and Spider-Man etc. The only BOTP merch I could find were comic books, but I would've killed for some action figures.

I wish that battle of the planets would do a live action movie. That would be slick.

🇦🇲🇦🇷🇦🇩🇨🇱🇨🇺🇪🇦🇪🇨🇲🇽🇺🇲🇺🇾🇻🇪🏳️🏳️‍🌈 Para todos los hispanohablantes: este vídeo es muy bueno si quieren aprender Inglés, ya que la dicción es muy, pero muy buena 😃 (for all Spanish-speakers: this Is an excelente video 'cause the man who being interviewed has very goog diction )😃

Good for Alex. I totally believe in creating your own opportunities. And I appreciated the way he describes how the show was so different and totally captivated kids like him and myself back in the day.

Anime con today in Abq, NM had your comics and I am in love...Gatchaman is the only anime I have followed...I was addicted in childhood. Thank you for your amazing artwork! I am cosplaying Jun soon...hope to see you sometime in the con circuit. :D

im sure gatchaman crowds is heart breaking for him...

GATCHAMAN:The Real BATTLE OF THE PLANETS without 7 ZARK 7.

I see chibi versions of casshern and polymar in alex's glass display case..

The mark statue in the back is bad ass

The original American version of battle of the planets .. was such sanitized crap!!! with 7 zark 7 used as filler because of the super heavy censoring. It should only be seen in the original Japanese format which is amazing.

I know I'm like 7 months late, but the seahorse is Tatsunoko's (the studio that created Gatchaman) logo.

gatchaman is super sentai before super sentai in japan

agreed, kingdom come got me into to dc again in my high school years lol. Return Of The Dark Knight is my favorite batman story beside the hush storyline. Have not got to All Star Superman

hi!! i'm like you, we have the same mission!!! keep the real cartoon alive!!!! and comics too!!! greetings from france!!

god i loved mark from g-force he's soooooooo.....cute lol!

what would the Gatchamen look if Rob Liefeld Draw them?

You complete me.

holy cow

I have the complete Gatchaman OVA DVD collection.

Got ya man XD "gotcha man" XD

+alexrosscollector um do you think the unreleased 3D animated movie Gatchaman (Imagi leaked) is supposed to be in 2 Canadian animated studios like Rainmaker Studios and ToonBox Entertainment distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures?

Movie real poeple

I saw the Tatsunoko Seahorse in 2:03

ithsi is just a fanboy dream but if they ever think of making a Kingdom Come movie i really hope the make it a CGI film to keep it close to Alex Ross original worm

I wonder if he is drawing something for the upcoming Gatchaman movie

I want that poster at 1:14!!!

J'ai les trois premiers tomes en version française de Gatchaman mais malheureusement je n'ai pas les deux ou trois derniers tomes car faute de succès chez nous ils n'ont pas été commercialisés. Où puis-je les trouver même en VO ? Merci

go play Tatsunoko vs Capcom Alex Ross.

@felixwilliam30 Holy COW! YES!

Alex Ross is a God I love his BOP/Gatchaman art....but why does he look like Captain Underpants in this video, forgive me

just buy his books. they all explains how he does what he do

Where's part 2?

I wish Mr. Ross would make a painting of the current American politics Bernie, Hillary and President Trump It would look awesome

There should be a Kingdom Come movie, It would be better than watchmen

I wish he'd make a how-to DVD. Btw, why's there a seahorse in 2:03 xD

@conradojavier why!?, we got Shinkiro!

ABSOLUTELY! movies suck nowadays

tatsunoko now currently working with nelvana and d-rights to remake Botp, but sadly it's aimed kids.

Lets leave it to japan.

@PantherCaruso I guess Time Bokan Anime are not his taste.

Is this guy married? Just wondering...

Gatchaman with Youngblood's Disease, ,Badly Drawn Feet,Giant Guns, & Giant Muscle = Fail lol
