It's a legendary collection, containing the largest assortment of fantastic art in the world--and including the most celebrated names in the field: Earl Bergey, John Berkey, Chesley Bonestell, Margaret Brundage, Frank Frazetta, H.R. Giger, Frank R. Paul, J.K. Potter, Boris Vallejo, and many others. And this landmark book, the first ever fully illustrated guide to these fabulous paintings and sculptures, offers an uncannily close experience to touring the Franks' gallery live. Each room is organized around a theme: the Reverence Room focuses on "space paintings," chosen for their astronomical subject matter or hard science-fiction premise. The pieces de resistance here are major large-sized works by Chesley Bonestell. Horror Hall contains deeply intense images, among them Bob Eggleton's Necroscope and Carl Lundgren's Weird Tales covers. The oldest and rarest paintings, such as J. Allen St. John's Tarzan and His Mate, go on the dining room's Wall of Fame. Contains a complete catalog of every work in the collection.
