A really beautiful book with artwork by Roy G. Krenkel. Krenkel was a huge Robert E. Howard fan. Contains a two-part article about REH & RGK. The first by Richard Garryson, titled ‘Robert E. Howard’s Champion’ and the second by Donald M. Grant called ‘Thunder Road’. The first major collection of the fantasy artist’s work in 20 years, this book is filled with classic and previously unseen portrayals of futuristic cities, prehistoric beasts, jungle men, bodacious beauties, and more. Providing a rich overview of Krenkel’s work, this book is profusely illustrated with 250 illustrations and photos-from his defining artwork on Tarzan, Conan, and Wizard of Oz, to his collaborations with Frank Frazetta.

Award-winning illustrator Roy G. Krenkel has inspired generations of fantasy artists with his portrayals of futuristic cities, prehistoric beasts, Mongol hordes, jungle men, and bodacious beauties. From pulp drawings of the late ‘40s to EC Comics’ Weird Science to his defining illustrations of Tarzan, Conan and the Wizard of Oz. RGK: The Art of Roy G. Krenkel is of interest to everyone whose imagination has been inspired by heroic fantasy.

This is the first major collection of the artist’s work in twenty years and includes commentary by Krenkel friends and associates including Star Wars artist Al Williamson and legendary sword & sorcery painter, Frank Frazetta.
