This is very well done appreciation of Mr. Campbell's work, not a critical study, with a lot of information about the newer works. As always there a quite a few gems, little things, like early fanzine illustrations by artist Eddie Jones. This is made by fans for fans. In this regard highly recommended.

 "This is made by fans for fans. In this regard highly recommended." I think that's the important point about every issue of Phantasmagoria, whether it's the normal magazines or the Specials, they are all "made by fans for fans". Which is one reason why I love it. |

I think number 20 also offered everything you would want from a magazine cover

Thank you!
Like so often it is the little things which catch my interest. I already ordered Pat Kearney's non fiction book, and Eddy C. Bertin's article about your early work was so well done.
Eddie Jones' illustrations were especially interesting for me as he sold a lot of covers to German SF pulps. At the time of publication I didn't knew his name, I just knew that a lot didn't appeal to me. I thought his poses for the action-orientated covers too static. But I liked his space-ships a lot. Later he did over a hundred covers for a bi-weekly novelization series and it gave the series an identity. As the covers were content-related, this was a good thing. Of course at the time of publishing at the end of the 70s I didn't gave this much thought which today I often regret.

Yes, Eddie was delighted to have cracked the German market. Alas, he died in poverty, selling airbrushed paintings for a dew quid each from an indoor market stall.

He was the first big name artist I can remember from back then and I was always impressed when I saw his original artwork at various conventions. His covers seemed to be everywhere once. |

I know that especially that kind of SF market collapsed at the end of the 80s in Germany which must have been hard for him, and the horror pulps market and the westerns which soldiered on - also shrunk - was the domain of Spanish agencys. Still one would think that there were other things for him. Even in its better days no or only very few artists could rely on the book market, one would think. |

Thanks for mentioning this, Steve! Indeed, very interesting. 'I don’t think one can read Robert Aickman casually', he says. Truer words were seldom spoken. :-)
