This review is from: Book of Conquests (Hardcover)

This book was revolutionary when it hit the stands. It still is. Take a visionary artist like Jim Fitzpatrick (who is immersed in the styles of Mucha, Hal Foster, and the Book of Kells) and give him the chance to edit the Irish epic "Lebor Gabala" into a meaningful whole and you have one of the most dynamic synthesis of myth and image to emerge in the last half of the 20th century. It may be said that it is an ethnocentric project with an egocentric edge, but since that "edge" is competently rendered, then the project can be praised for it's daring. Bringing a myth into a new age is no small feat and to do so with such flair can only recommend itself to those who seek a Celtic Revival.

What a truly beautiful book! If you like Keltic artwork, fantasy, and mythology this is one of the best! While the book is VERY hard to find and rare, if you can get it, it is worth the time!

Jim Fitzpatrick is such a great artist. Combining technics of the ancient Celts with modren view point and matrials. Hes so good in fact that I couldn't wait for my next payday so I could buy another of his books. I have links to my three faverites.
