A 320-page oversize trade paperback being published by IMPACT Books, the book collects the best of Scalera’s hard-to-find pose-file and adds dozens of brand new pictures and art tutorials. “Colossal Collection” is Scalera’s fifth educational book and the second book from Scalera shipping in 2011. Scalera’s “Creating Comics from Start to Finish,” shipped in May 2011.

The “Colossal Collection of Action Poses” is a book that features a best-of style group of anatomy poses from Scalera’s first three photo books, which include: Comic Artist’s Photo Reference: People & Poses (2006), Comic Artist’s Photo Reference: Women & Girls (2008), and Comic Artist’s Photo Reference: Men & Boys (2008).
