Like many who have reviewed this book, I grew up with Famous Monsters of Filmland, and was really looking forward to getting this book because of the fabulous artwork of Basil Gogos that I remember so well. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed - with a title like "Famous Monster Movie Art of Basil Gogos", one would expect (at least I did) that it would concentrate on his well-known covers of... more

There is plenty to view, read, and appreciate here. Each of the 6 artists has 25 to 30 images of varying sizes alongside insightful (and occasionally funny) comments. Each artist is provided 20 pages within the book. It certainly leaves me wanting to know more about these artists and their works. I'm very happy to add this book to my collection of art books. ... more

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RPH9UOYIAPMSA One can easily see the influences of Jack Kirby or Frank Frazetta but Alex Horley is more versatile than he seems, applying his craft to superheroes from Marvel & DC, Magic the Gathering, World of Warcraft and other projects.
Sketches form the bulk of the book. There are sketchy drafts and compositions of epic fight scenes... more

Jeff Jones is one of my favorite fantasy artists. I especially love his impressionistic oil paintings shown on the cover of this Sketchbook. However, all of the art inside the covers is rather sketchy pen and ink work interesting mainly to collectors of Jones. The real plus of this one is the long interview (2000) with George Pratt , a 20-year friend. A much better buy, in my opinion, is THE ART... more

I strongly recommend this book to anyone who grew up reading comic books in the 30s, the 40s, the 50s and the 60s. Joe Simon a pioneer in the industry, shows how the fictional world of comic books was a reflection of the real world with its trials and tribulations. The book puts fact and reality to fantasy characters. It is truly and fun and fascinating read. Lots of great memories for pre-baby... more

That book is a show! Big! A little than John Buscema could do with a pencil. He was magic, as it was in whole its works. A book marvel to have and to consult whenever it is looking for inspiration. Wonderful!... more
