Story and art by Mark Schultz. Foreword by H. Schultz.

Mark Schultz unleashed!

Inspired by the otherworldly pulp stories of his childhood in the 1950s and '60s, Schultz continues to draw inspiration from the adventure, fantasy and science-fiction genres of that imaginative period. With its visions of romanticized space exploration, this time continues to be a primary influence on his artwork and in this new collection, where the focus is on life on other worlds. While many of these new visions were created purely for his own satisfaction, Carbon 4 also features Schultz's most recent commissions and commercial illustrations.

As always, Xenozoic's Jack and Hannah are featured prominently.

Softcover, 9-in. x 12-in., 56 pages, full color.

Cover price $24.95.
