From the 1930s through the 1950s, Virgil Finlay was the most popular artist in science fiction — and for obvious reasons. His meticulous, labor-intensive, dot-based technique, coupled with an unfettered imagination, created fantastic otherworlds populated by sensual sirens and frightful creatures depicted with a nearly photographic reality. This first-ever career retrospective features hundreds of Finlay's black-and-white drawings illustrating scenes from works by his friend H. P. Lovecraft, as well as Robert E. Howard and other sci-fi legends.
