4.0 out of 5 stars
Edgar Rice Burroughs fans will love this stunning art book!,
By webnik@globaldialog.com (Oak Creek, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Joe Jusko's Art of Edgar Rice Burroughs (Paperback)
I was a bit leery about ordering Joe Jusco's book site unseen from Amazon.com. After viewing this beauty, I thank my lucky stars I did order it. It's gorgeous! The book contains the heroic art of E.R.Burroughs' Tarzan, Mars, Venus, and miscellanious stories. Jusco's exquisitely detailed work is hypnotic and the crisp reproductions are first rate, with vibrant colors on very high quality paper. Each picture needs to be studied for long periods to fully appreciate the incredible talent that went into creating it. My advice to Fantasy/SF art collectors is to buy this book now before it goes out of print completely. You'll only pay much more for it later on.

Great artwork,
By Jay "SarahsJay" (Douglasville, GA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Joe Jusko's Art of Edgar Rice Burroughs (Paperback)
First I want to say Jusko's a great artist who easily captures Burroughs' vivd prose in this book. All of the paintings are gorgeous and well done and stand out in my mind. I do, however, have a couple of quibbles. First Synthetic Men of Mars is entirely unrepresented with no explanation given as to why. Second many of the paintings don't match up to the action they purport to describe. For instance O-aa is featured as a brunette with a jalok facing a T-Rex when in fact she is a blonde who's climbing up a cliff alone to escape a Tylosaurus in the scene supposedly painted. Although the picture is beautiful, it doesn't match up to what we should be seeing. These though are relatively minor quibbles, and I think anyone who gets the book won't be disappointed. I hope Jusko does some more ERB artwork, for I enjoyed this greatly.
