A collection of comic and fantasy art plus artwork from the Golden Age of Illustration
and whatever else sparks my interest.

Life on Other Worlds
A 1978 Science Fiction art portfolio. Featuring art by P. Craig Russell, Howard Chaykin, Walt Simonson, Paul Gulacy, and Al Williamson. The Williamson plate is incredible.
Wonderful stuff ! - I love how back in the 1970's portfolios were the rage. Gulacy's piece here is superb - will stippling ever return I wonder? Thanks for all the rare Wrightson - I'm a big fan of his early work and fanzine pix that don't get seen very often. Keep it up and thanks.
A gorgeous portfolio. I agree about the Williamson piece (most of his art is great). The Gulacy one is haunting.
ReplyDeleteYes, Williamson is consistently good. This illustration just really showcases everything that is wonderful about his science fiction art.
