Happy Days with Great Art February 27, 2005
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

For those like me who admire science fiction art,this is an amazing work.A work of love,too.It was written by the late Lester Del Rey,one of "John W. Campbell's ASTOUNDING STORIES/ASTOUNDING SCIENCE FICTION boys"(writers like Robert Heinlein,Isaac Asimov,A.E.Van Vogt,Theodore Sturgeon,and so many others).A man who is part of one of the greatest periods in science fiction history:the so-called "Golden Age"(the late 1930s and the early and middle 1940's).I remember when the book was published.It was in the middle 1970's.Happy times.I bought it immediately.And perused it,over and over again.It was one of the first books,together with Anthony Frewin's "100 Years of Science Fiction Illustration 1840-1940",br /to examine the art that were reproduced on the covers of the science fiction pulp magazines from the 1920's to the 1950's.A cursory exam,no doubt,but very effective.br /Lots of wonderful cover art are reproduced in this book.Painted by legendary artists like FRANK R. PAUL,LEO MOREY,HOWARD V.BROWN,ROBERT FUCQUA,EARLE BERGEY(the STARTLING STORIES cover for Fredric Brown's WHAT MAD UNIVERSE is one of my favorites ),ALEX SCHOMBURG(one of the greatest SF/Comics cover artists)and last,but not least,the recent deceased FRANK KELLY FREAS.What a feast!br /The author of this book and the artists represented in its pages, are not with us anymore.But they will live forever in our memory.
