A Doorway to a Beautiful and Awesome Universe

I worked for several book and magazine distributors for decades and I've seen the work of some great artists/illustrators, pre-Internet. Bob Eggleton has a body of work that shows a great deal of versatility that even some of the "Greats" lack, no small feat. Some of his stuff reminds me of Whelan, some of Grey Morrow... His HORROR stuff is also excellent. Great book. LOTS of gorgeous artwork.

Brilliant fantasy artwork.

Bob Eggleton's artwork not only shows what an amazingly gifted artist he is but also demonstrates a breathtaking imagination. As the title of the book indicates, this is a book featuring paintings of alien landscapes, wonderful spacecraft and alien beings. It is hard to believe such detail has come purely from imagination and that these are not something the artist has seen in reality. With vibrant colours and perfection in even the minutest details these are pictures that a reader will want to look at time and time again. This is a wonderful book not only for fans of science fiction and fantasy but also for anyone who appreciates art.
