Sci-Fi Art

Science fiction has always been about visions as much as ideas. "Sci-Fi Art: A Pocket History" surveys the visionary landmarks of this ever-evolving and popular art form, from the 19th century illustrations of the works of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, through the pulp magazines of the 1920s and 1930s, and on to the book and magazine covers of the 20th and 21st centuries. From J. J. Grandville to Frank R. Paul, Frank Kelly Freas to Chris Foss, and from Jim Burns to Vincent Di Fate, the grand masters of imaginative art are profiled, presented along with key examples of their work. The innovative pack also features 30 visionary fridge magnets featuring highlights of the art in the book, and will make a fun gift for all fans of sci-fi, vintage illustration, and cult literature.
