Synopsis

"Sword's Edge" brings Robert E. Howard's "Conan the Barbarian" to vivid life for a new generation of Conan fans and enthusiasts. Countless artists have painted Robert E. Howard's iconic character Conan of Cimmeria through the years, but none have done so more brilliantly than legendary Spanish painter Manuel Perez Clemente Sanjulian. With the impact of a battleaxe, "Sword's Edge" collects an action-filled brace of paintings that brings Howard's classic stories to vivid life for a new generation of enthusiasts. Best known in the United States for his cover paintings for the comic magazines Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella, Sanjulian has been rightly called 'an artist's artist' for his masterful compositions and vibrant use of colour. Honoured by the Society of Illustrators, he has created his numerous book jackets for a diverse range of publishers.

About this title

About the Author:

Manual Perez Clemente (better known as Sanjulian): Born in Barcelona, Sanjulian studied at the Sant Jordi Academy of Fine Arts. Initially working for the comic section, his full colour works are now being seen worldwide. In the 1980s Sanjulian worked for Warren Publishing on titles like Creepy, Eerie, and Famous Monsters, but he is mainly associated with the Vampirella title, for which he illustrated many classic covers. Sanjulian has worked for various US publishers, including Dell, Ace, DAW, Bantam, Fawcett and Berkeley, Grove Press, Pocket, and Harlequin. He has created paintings for such diverse spheres as Reader's Digest and horror maestro Clive Barker. Sanjulian has had several shows at the Society of Illustrators in New York and his work has appeared in many fine art galleries in Europe. His paintings have often been compared to Velazquez in terms of palette and technical ability.
