The Art Of John Bolton
Pretty nightmares and disturbing daydreams. This is John Bolton's corner of the fantasy and horror neighborhood, and tourists are strongly advised to keep a tight grip on their sanity. Bolton's worlds of the bizarre have attracted legions of fans who delight in his dark macabre style and gothic sensibilities. A long-time comic art favorite, John's work has spanned several decades, many graphic novels, and a gallery's worth of decadently disturbing paintings. His collaborative teamings with such talents as Chris Claremont, Neil Gaiman, Clive Barker, Sam Raimi, Anne Rice, Christopher Fowler to name but a few has only burnished his reputation as a true master of fantasy illustration. It's time to celebrate those achievements with a full color extravaganza.
The Art of John Bolton is an oversized edition that contains over 100 magnificently reproduced paintings and illustrations on a luxurious heavy coated paper. Every page is a brilliant blending of both the artist's eye and the printer's craft. This is a hyper-caffeinated coffee table edition that allows the reader to savor every brushstroke and subtle shade of color, while experiencing the chilling wonder of the other-worldly subject matter. Fall into Bolton's dark realms and let his visions envelop you with its wonder.

If you are familiar with John Bolton's work, I really don't need to tell you what you already know with regards to the quality of the art herein. There is comic art from Dark Horse (Strange Wink covers), art from Vampire: The Dark Ages (published by White Wolf), and much more. However, the bio of Bolton? Less than half a page. There is no text to contextualize where the art originally appeared, and if you want to have titles for pieces, you have to flip to the back of the book.
So what, you say? I agree. I WOULD have liked a more substantial bio, but the content of this book is amazeballs, as the TikTok kids probably no longer say. It is a visual buffet for your feasting pleasure. I hope you enjoy.
