Roy Krenkel

A few Roy Krenkel items. Krenkel was talented and prolific science fiction illustrator. He served as an inspiration and mentor to generations of fantasy and comic artists, including Al Williamson and Frank Frazetta.

I've included an original ink sketch by Krenkel from my collection, and two scans of paperback covers. For some more nice Krenkel images check out this post on Palaeoblog. For some good books check out RGK: The Art of Roy G. Krenkel and Swordsmen and Saurians.
