Giants (1978), a fantasy art anthology edited by David Larkin, showcasing the work of legendary illustrators and fantasy artists from the 1970s. The book features full-color plates of towering, mythical giants rendered in vivid detail by artists like:
-
Frank Frazetta (sword-and-sorcery icon)
-
Boris Vallejo (hyper-realistic musculature and drama)
-
Jeff Jones (ethereal, dreamlike figures)
-
John Schoenherr (known for Dune illustrations)
With lush paintings and sculptures, Giants explores these colossal beings as heroes, monsters, and gods across folklore, sci-fi, and sword-and-sorcery. Larkin’s curation highlights the golden age of fantasy art, bridging pulp magazine aesthetics with gallery-worthy craftsmanship.
A collector’s gem for fans of Frazetta’s Conan or Vallejo’s Tarzan, this out-of-print volume is a time capsule of pre-digital fantasy artistry.
