Reviews about Art of Imagination: 20th Century Visions of Science Fiction, Horror, and Fantasy (7):
SkroN
This book is a fantastic collection of art and book covers from sci-fi, fantasy, and horror sources. It covers comics, books, movies, posters, and just about any other art form you can think of. It has explanations and descriptions for all of the art featured.

This book is great when you want to write or draw and need some inspiration. The sheer diversity of the content (within the realm of the fanastical, of course) is crazy. If you find yourself wondering what to write about next, or what you want to paint or draw, just flip through this book. Everybody that sees it sitting on my desk loves to look through it, so it helps break the ice when people wander into your room and wonder why you have a Deadpool statue or a stack of comics. The book is also huge, it's more of a coffee table book than anything else. It's so large you could call it a tome if you wanted.

Highly recommended.

Beautiful book. Unfortunately, it was packaged without enough protection and came crushed along the edges, so I wrote the seller requesting a trade, but I got a refund instead. Felt guilty about getting a free book, I did appreciate it though. I'm sure precautions will be taken for future packaging. My sci-fi-loving boyfriend was otherwise really happy with this book. So, 5 stars. :)

A huge and beautifully illustrated book of science fiction, fantasy and horror art from pulp magazines and books to movie posters and board games. Full color illustrations range from the 18th century to the beginning of the 21st, from the golden age of those pulps to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Twilight Zone and Star Wars, from Edgar Rice Burrows to zombies. Jet packs in 1928? Must be true, I saw it here!

First off I think you should know that this wonderful book's 768 pages weigh a bit over ten pounds. It is a reprint of three very popular Collectors Press 20th Century series, Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy. I bought this copy because I'm interested in visual popular culture and I was very impressed with the historical scope of the subject matter, the 1300 colored illustrations include not only book jackets but covers of magazines, comics and nicely, film posters.

With so many illustrations you can search out your favorites, I like the work of Hannes Bok, Kelly Freas and Jeff Jones and there plenty of examples of their work. Running through all the images the three authors contribute a popular history of each genre but it is the huge collection of covers that make this a knockout book for me.

***FOR AN INSIDE LOOK click 'customer images' under the cover.

BTW, I bought this big book at a huge discount and I suggest you take the trouble to check the title out on the comparison shopping book websites, you'll be surprised at price variations.

First of all: a disclaimer. I edited one of the three books incorporated in this single volume as well as an overall introduction. But I'm not shilling for the book--I don't have to. Included in this one volume are "Science Fiction of the 20th Century," "Horror of the 20th Century," and "Fantasy of the 20th Century." An illustrative history of the three genres--in one volume. Bought separately, they would have run you $... The same plates were used in this volume, the same paper--in many cases, the reproduction is even better than in the original volumes. NOT available in most bookstores. This is probably the biggest, single, hardbound volume of 4-color illustrations ever published in the United States. If you looked at the single books in the series and passed because of price, take a look at this one. Not just for the pretty pictures--the written historical sumamries are also worth the price. End of commercial--nobody's paying me to write this and any royalties as such have been prepaid. Fellow editor/authors Robert Weinberg and Randy Broecker know their stuff. Reason for this screed: I'm damned proud of the book.
Being a professional artist, and a mondo horror fan, I was craving to get my pencil smudged paws on this book. Over 700 pages of lavishly illustrated science fiction and horror history. Art of Imagaination brings to attention the works of the great artists who have worked in this field for over a century. Anyone with even a minor interest in thsi subject would find this text a true page turner. Highly Recommended.
