Ladies and Legends

Stephen Fabian

Fabian's success and popularity as an artist came with his graceful fantasy book and magazine illustrations of the 1970s and 1980s, depicting the work of H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Jack Vance, and many others. He also contributed interior and cover art to such magazines as Galaxy, If, Amazing Stories, and Fantastic. Introduction by Gerry de la Ree.

A spectacular collection of fantasy art, assembling the best of Fabian's book and magazine illustrations. The first collection of the fantasy artist's drawings. The book contains over 140 of Fabian's science fiction & fantasy illustrations (all in B&W, even those that originally appeared in colour) . Fabian has a very interesting style which works very well in black & white, especially his use of tones.

This collection is not recommended for those offended by scantily-clad women (there are a few scattered throughout the book).
