Description

Worlds Beyond Time: Sci-fi Art of the 1970s is a comprehensive visual history of the iconic art from 1970s paperback sci-fi novels. This collectible volume showcases the extraordinary images created by talented painters, comic-book artists, and designers, which continue to inspire retro-chic design in modern sci-fi films. In the 1970s, science-fiction novels were thriving, with mass-produced books featuring eye-catching cover art that often had little to do with the book's contents. The art leaned on psychedelic imagery, far-out landscapes, and trippy surrealism to satisfy the appetite for big ideas and brave new worlds. This book introduces readers to the biggest names in the genre, including Chris Foss, Peter Elson, Tim White, Jack Gaughan, and Virgil Finlay, as well as their influences. With gorgeously reproduced art and deep dives into the subject matter, Worlds Beyond Time offers a unique insight into the art and design of 1970s sci-fi.
