FANTASY OF THE 20TH CENTURY:
AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY | | by Randy Broecker | The stuff such as dreams are made of — our most death-defying adventures and wildest flights of imagination: this is the realm of fantasy. And ever since ancestral storytellers created myths of monsters, lost worlds, dragons, and heroes, fantastical tales have allowed us to visit these magical worlds “beyond.” In these pages, you will read of voyages launched by celebrated commanders of the genre. William Morris, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and Robert E. Howard are a few examples of writers who sailed off the edge of their known worlds into those of their own creation. Randy Broecker shows how the fantasy story evolved over the centuries into the entertainment found in today's books, comics, and films.
Collectors, aficionados, and readers of the genre will be amazed by the breadth of Broecker's history — and will be proud to make it part of their library.
Randy Broecker is an established resident of the world of fantasy, having illustrated its wonders worldwide for over 30 years. He has been sought-after by numerous award-winning publishers as well as some of the Grand Masters of fantasy literature. As a collector of this genre since the age of 10, Broecker has the knowledge and expertise to author this celebrated history.
