Book Description

Finally, for the first time, Mark Schultz's artwork has been collected into this new book, the majority of which have never been published. Great care has been taken to reproduce the originals as faithfully as possible, with Mark's discerning eye approving every aspect of the book. 49 preliminaries, sketches, and finished brush and ink pieces are showcased, most full page, to reveal the various magical stages of Marks' perfectionist approach. Fans of Hannah Dundee and Schultz's gorgeous women will be delighted, as new pieces were created especially for this book! Stunning new images from Xenozoic Tales fill much of the volume, along with private commissions, a previously unpublished cover for SubHuman, an oversized gatefold of a breathtaking adventure scene, and amazing pieces from recent projects!

This review is from: Mark Schultz: Various Drawings Volume One (Paperback)

If anyone doesn't know what Mark Schultz wants to do with his talents after viewing the work in this collection, well, look again.
Mark Schultz created a wonderful but brief little series titled Xenozoic Tales back in the early eighties and he's clearly not over it. There are beautiful drawings in pencils and in finished dry brush ink throughout this book showcasing Mark's undying passion for his creation. This is not to slight the gorgeous sketches and drawings of Conan also featured, along with private commisions and the self-rejected (?!)cover for his "Subhuman" series. This is, so far, the one title released by Flesk Publications featuring a contemporary artist. Flesk's other titles feature illustrators Joseph Clement Coll and Franklin Booth. All of the Flesk books are gorgeous and this one is no exception.
Mark's seeming fixation with his characters from Xenozoic is the perfect theme for his first, and what I hope are many collections to come.
