Illustrators #45

Plot

We open this latest issue with Glenn Fabry who was one of the seminal artists from 2000AD in the UK, and then became one of favourite cover illustrators for the Vertigo line of comics in the USA.

Then we remember Glen Orbik who brought back all the thrills and chills from the crime pulp covers of the 1940s into the new millennium.

We take a look back at Howard Chandler Christy creator of the Christy Girl; and then at some German children's books about children behaving badly and how they inspired some popular comic strips and animated cartoons.

More like a book than a magazine, illustrators is the art quarterly devoted to the finest illustration art ever published. With its unique blend of art and insight, it guides you through the stories behind the artists and their art, with features written by some of the leading authorities on this important art form.

As well as building into an indispensable reference library, illustrators gives readers an insight into the creative process, from the initial idea to the image potentially seen by millions.

Truly fabulous artwork abounds in every issue, much of the art taken from scans of the original work. A Book Palace Books publication.
