I've been a Michael Whelan fan for a long time. Probably the first covers I recognized as particularly awesome would have been the Elric books which for me appeared out of nowhere in 1981. I have at least two Michael Whelan books, I don't take the time to look at my art books nearly enough. This one was for his earliest work - and I'm not sure I realized that. And it's kind of what I want in an art book. First of all it has fantastic art. But also most pictures have a bit of a story with them, sort of like you'd get from Asimov introduced short story. And the bits my other people on the artist actually add something. It helps that this book also covers such a short amount of time that it ends up having a point of view. And I ended up knowing who Micheal Whelan is, just a little bit more.
