Here you will meet Marion Zimmer Bradley's Morgaine from The Mists of Avalon, Conancreator Robert E. Howard's Bran Mak Morn, Clive Barker's GekAGek, Drool Rockworm from Stephen R. Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Convenant the Unbeliever, and many more.Fifty fantastic creatures and characters in all. Awesome, incredible, startling, disturbing all rendered with perfect accuracy and exquisite detail.The heroes, monsters, and bizarre creatures depicted in these fullcolor pages range from the mythical to the mysterious, from the hideous to the sublime, from the wonderful to the terrible. In his accompanying text, Barlowe presents the essential facts about each creature, whether it be language, weaponry, dietary customs, or favorite prey. In the manner of a true naturalist (he was apprenticed at New York's Museum of Natural History) he includes his sketches and preliminary drawings, as well as his notes and locomotion studies.
