Product Description

Foss’s groundbreaking and distinctive science fiction art revolutionised paperback covers in the 1970s and 80s.

Dramatically raising the bar for realism and invention, his trademark battle-weary spacecraft, dramatic alien landscapes and crumbling brutalist architecture irrevocably changed the aesthetic of science fiction art and cinema.

Featuring work for books by Isaac Asimov, E. E. Doc Smith, Arthur C. Clarke, A. E. Van Vogt and Philip K. Dick, and film design for Ridley Scott and Stanley Kubrick, this volume brings together many rare and classic images that have never been seen or reprinted before. This is the first comprehensive retrospective of Chris Foss’ sci-fi career.

This 400-copy numbered limited-run special edition features a limited edition-case book with an exclusive 8-page cover gallery and a bound-in signature sheet in a unique printed polypropylene slipcase. The book also contains a signed original print of the cover art for Perry Rhodan 2: The Radiant Dome (also referred to as Foss’ 2001 inspired ship). This print comes in an envelope.
