Frank
Frazetta's book ICON - a Retrospective is
a stunning look at his past. With many of the classics (including
the famous Conan book covers) and some interesting by-lines,
we strongly recomend this book - no other fantasy artist has the
vision, vibrance and sheer power of Frazetta.
Icon : A Retrospective ~ Frank Frazetta, et al / Hardcover
/ 1998
Angus
McBride has a unique style. He uses Gouache to produce a very life-like
yet illustrative finish to his work. He is best known for his work
for Osprey Publishing Men-At-Arms series and his work for Iron Crown
Enterprises, illustrating the covers for their Middle Earth Roleplaying
Game. He is COOL. You can buy the book Warriors and Warlords:
The Art of Angus McBride from Amazon with these links
Go on, treat yourself!
Alan
Lee has illustrated some of the best loved fantasy books including
The Lord of The Rings. His mood filled watercolours
have shaped our imaginations over the years and brought our fantasy
worlds to life. We hear rumours that the Lee illustrated 'Mabinogion'
may be back in print shortly..... A pity 'Castles' isn't still available
too.

Continuing
with the Tolkien theme, David Days Tolkien Bestiary
is available again (though through Amazon.com only at this stage).
As one review put it: 'Simply put, the other illustrated guides
to Middle Earth are enormously inadequate next to this. The information
is first rate, neither dumbed down for the common reader nor tediously
verbose'. It has many fine illustrations by Ian Miller, who
managed to capture the Middle Earth feel perfectly (though a very
different vision to the likes of Alan Lee).
