The Book of Nick

And I saw, and behold a dark horse, and his name that sat on him was Justus. And there was given unto him a great pen.

The Four Horsemen

What better place to start, than some place other than the beginning? That's Nick Justus, over on the right hand side of this photo encountered on Anthony Marques Tumblr site. Now, whether the reference posted thereon alludes to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse or to the Four Horsemen of professional wrestling fame, either way, the title of Horseman was already conferred upon Nick Justus, ere I ever encountered him or his artwork.

A Horseman this way rides, or more accurately, it is his art that rides this way, riding aboard the Internet and finding its way to me. It is fitting, indeed, that a title of this notoriety should likewise find its way to this man who is Nick Justus, and delivered by those who know him better than myself.

Recognize.

It was through Nick Justus that I encountered the artwork of the other three Horsemen pictured above - Anthony Marques, Craig C. Cermak II, and Gavin Smith.

What's in that book that Nick Justus has in front of him, in the photo above? Only the Shadow knows - the Shadow and Nick Justus, himself, no doubt. Is there an accounting for which individual pieces of art that this book, in question, contains? Is that the Nick Justus Art Bible? Or, does such a thing exist?

What masterpieces remain to be seen by the eyes of men, both from the future yet to come, and from the past that remain unrevealed and still sealed from fans such as I?

And will the Age of Justus herald in a closer peek at that book - The Book of Nick?
