Let's not leave people out. Fantasy begain before 1950. Check out these authors. Lord Dunsany HP Lovecraft Robert lewis stevenson. Many of these were illistrated by great artists. Do a search for Maxfield Parrish, Sidney Sime, Aubrey Beardsley, H. J. Ford, Lighton, William Morris, etc. A search for Pre-Raphaelite Artists will turn up many good pages or check http://www.speel.demon.co.uk/other/prb.htm For modern authors there is lynn abby, ben bova, robert asprin. A complete list can be found at http://www.sff.net/people/Amy.Sheldon/listcont.htm Many modern works have great illistrators. Most of these are on the web. Included in the Tolken Illistrators are , Tim Kirk, and the brothers Hildebrandt http://www.brothershildebrandt.com/, one of my favorite is Michael Whelan http://www.michaelwhelan.com/ who did the covers for The dragonriders of pern and the Burroughs Jon Carter re releases. I'm afraid we have another wide open subject this month. It will take me a couple of weeks just to pick. Happy Hunting Everyone;)
