This fabulous little booklet is exactly what Dawn fans have been seeking, without realizing it. Probably the majority of Dawn readers are more akin to art collectors - and not necessarily comic book art collectors, at that. While Linsner's most famous creation certainly appeals to the comic art crowd, she also is a masterpiece of erotic pinup work, and simply of beautiful figure and facial art in general.

Until now, Dawn fans have had to scour used comic bins and internet sites just to find their favorite individual drawings and paintings. Linsner must have realized that, and made the job easier by putting all his best-known illustrations of Dawn into a single compact volume. It's a pocket-sized book, but crammed full of its subject, and that's all any Dawn fan wants.

For those who want a little more detail as to exactly which illustrations are to be found, the answer is Dawn's most famous cover poses, numerous panels from Lucifer's Halo, and quite a few stand-alone one-shots, including those that (until now) were found only in Linsner's sketchbooks ...

There's no real text here, just lots and lots of everyone's favorite enigmatic redheaded goddess with the Veronica Lake hairdo. And if you're looking up this title, that's all you really wanted to know.

So, enjoy!

Linsner's creation, Dawn, is wonderful. If you've ever viewed his work, then you have most likely ran into Dawn. Linsner's paintings are "lush" and detailed. Dawn can be enjoyed by anyone with an open mind and appreciation of art.

Peace.
