The Studio / Jeff Jones, Michael Kaluta, Barry Windsor Smith, Berni Wrightson / 1979 / Dragon's Dream
In 1979, The Studio presented not just a coming together of four talented 1970s fantasy artists in a New York loft, but an injection of visual dynamite into an ailing industry. Drawing on pre-Raphaelite, gothic, art deco and Romantic influences these young artists were the vanguard of a new sophistication in comics and fantasy. From Jeff Jones' whimsical idylls to Berni Wrightson's vibrant and brutal gothic, this is a beautifully designed oversize book overflowing with lush, dreamy artistry.
A very clean copy of a highly sought-after book.
