Great artwork
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
First I want to say Jusko's a great artist who easily captures Burroughs' vivd prose in this book. All of the paintings are gorgeous and well done and stand out in my mind. I do, however, have a couple of quibbles. First Synthetic Men of Mars is entirely unrepresented with no explanation given as to why. Second many of the paintings don't match up to the action they purport to describe. For instance O-aa is featured as a brunette with a jalok facing a T-Rex when in fact she is a blonde who's climbing up a cliff alone to escape a Tylosaurus in the scene supposedly painted. Although the picture is beautiful, it doesn't match up to what we should be seeing. These though are relatively minor quibbles, and I think anyone who gets the book won't be disappointed. I hope Jusko does some more ERB artwork, for I enjoyed this greatly.
