Beschreibung

With his colourful spaceships, intricate machines and futuristic cities, Chris Foss revolutionised the science fiction book covers of the 1970s and the 1980s. This is a collection of covers Chris Foss created for modern science fiction, including for Isaac Asimov's "Foundation trilogy", "EE 'Doc' Smith's Lensman series", and others works.

Autor

Chris Foss's evocative science fiction book covers pioneered a much-imitated style featuring vast, colourful spaceships, machines and cities. He also illustrated the original black and white edition of The Joy of Sex. He produced the UK pb covers for Asimov's Foundation Trilogy, worked with H.R. Geiger on concepts for the unrealised Jodorowsky Dune movie and on Alien, as well as on Superman. Rian Hughes is an award-winning graphic designer, illustrator, font designer and comics artist, noted for his work on 2000AD, and Dan Dare. His illustration work is highly distinctive, wearing its design influences on its sleeve. Clients include Virgin Airways, Penguin Books, DC Comics (for whom he has designed numerous logos), Eurostar, the BBC and a range of magazines and newspapers. He is the editor and designer of several books including Lifestyle Illustration of the 60s and the recently released Cult-ure. "One of the most successful and prolific designer/illustrators of the past 20 years." -- Roger Sabin, Eye magazine
