Description

The Art and Making of The Boys is a fascinating insight into the darkest, wittiest, most shocking show on TV - a pitch-black satire of superheroes and corporate America based on the classic comic book series. It's packed with eye-popping exclusive art, behind-the-scenes photography, and interviews with the cast and crew detailing how and why The Boys came to our screens. It's the perfect companion to the show, and a treasure trove for fans. The Boys is an American superhero television series developed by Eric Kripke for Amazon Prime Video. Based on the comic book of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, which was originally published by DC Comics. It follows the eponymous team of vigilantes as they combat superpowered individuals who abuse their abilities.
