Fantasy Art of Oliver Frey SC (2006) comic books 2005-2007

1st printing. By Oliver Frey. This lavish book documents artist Oliver Frey's illustrious career, from his early works on some of Britain's greatest comic institutions such as the Fleetway War Picture Library, Dan Dare in Eagle, and The Trigan Empire in Look & Learn, as well as his celebrated 1930s-style opening sequence for the film Superman: The Movie. Showcasing famous artwork reproduced as it has never been seen before free of the commercial sales lines and slogans that cluttered them as magazine covers and posters, complete with commentary on the paintings by the artist, this artbook also throws light on Frey's techniques, from line-and-wash to airbrush, and more recently his computer-generated work. Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 192 pages, full color. Cover price $29.99.
