Author Description

For fifty years, Al Williamson has epitomized artistic integrity. From his collaborations with Hogarth, Frazetta, Krenkel, Wood and Torres, to his award-winning Flash Gordon, often imitated Warren Magazines, to his classic Star Wars and Secret Agent newspaper strip art, Williamson's adventurous romantic work has consistently elevated the art of the comic strip to the level of Golden Age illustration and museum quality fine art. Vanguard Productions started publishing periodicals in 1991. The Al Williamson Sketchbook (1998) is Vanguard's landmark, first publication in the book format.
