The Flights of Icarus

Plot

Written by Donald Lehmkuhl and edited by Martyn and Roger Dean, this is purely an artist book with a very large number of contributors and pages - 159. Divided into several sections, the scenes are effectively 'categorised' into appropriate sections with a two-page piece of text at the start of the section, written by Lehmkuhl. The sections are (roughly described): 1 - Dinosaurs, Reptiles and Fantastic Creatures, 2 - Legends and Heroes, 3 - Nature and Cityscapes, 4 - Nowhere..., 5 - Time, 6 - Space, 7 - The Ultimate Moment (various scenes). The images are of a very high quality with a number by the editors themselves, Martyn and Roger Dean. The book repeats some of the images as seen in the other TTA books but displays them in their original format, whereas the TTA books had 'clipped' versions. There is a small amount of text about each contributing artist and which scenes they provided for the book, with their original title.
