The Art of Al Williamson v1 #NN (no number), 1983 - First published in 1983, this was the first major book on the artist's work and career. In addition to a lengthy interview with
Al Williamson, author James Van Hise also talks with many of his creative collaborators. Recollections and insights are shared by Frank Frazetta, Angelo Torres, William Gaines, Archie Goodwin, Al McWilliams, George Woodbridge, Roy Krenkel, Ray Bradbury, George Evans and Gray Morrow. The book also marks the first serious attempt at a Williamson comics checklist. Reprinted stories include "The Hunted" (from
Two-Gun Kid #25), "The Little Earth" (from
Blast Off #1), "The Lizard" (from
Mystery Tales #51), "The Vicious Space Pirates" (from
Danger Is Our Business #1), "Food for Thought" (from
Incredible Science Fiction #32), "The Gun-slinger" (from
Kid Slade #7 and "When the Creature Escapes" (from
World of Suspense #7). The newspaper strips
Robby and
Secret Agent Corrigan appear on a number of pages, but also included is two weeks of
Star Wars strips for George Lucas (1978), published here for the first time. In general, the book's printing quality is spotty, but the interviews alone make this worthy of any collection. Paperback book, full color cover and back cover, black and white interiors, 148 pages total.
