Publisher's Synopsis
Krenkel illustrated numerous works by Edgar Rice
Burroughs, as well as Robert E. Howard, Lin Carter, and more. But many of
Krenkel's workswhat he called his "Doodles," in a characteristically
selfeffacing mannerwere rarely seen by even his biggest fans. And while many of
Roy's doodles were simple drawings, many were finished illustrations done for
the pure pleasure of creating art. Most of the images in this book are published
here for the very first time (courtesy of and with the full cooperation of the
Krenkel Estate), and nearly all have been painstakingly scanned from the
original art (in a manner akin to IDW's Eisner Awardwinning Artist's Edition
series) with the goal being to showcase Krenkel's gorgeous original art in a way
it has never been seen before. While the realms of sciencefiction, heroic
fantasy, paleontology, and historical reconstruction were particular specialties
of Roy's, his pen, brush, and palette knew no
boundaries.
