Hardback. Condition: As New. Denis McLoughlin (illustrator). Hard Cover. Book Palace Books August 2012. Deluxe Edition limited to just 120 copies worldwide signed by the author, plus numbered limited edition print and a 12-page facsimile edition Roy Carson comic. Signed. 1st Edition. Limited Edition. Full Colour illustrations. The definitive biography of Denis McLoughlin - the accomplished and powerful illustrator of hundreds of book dust jackets, and comic strips - packed with full colour images of his art and a complete bibliography. Written by David Ashford, one of McLoughlin's close friends, the book celebrates every aspect of the artist's astounding career, from examples of his earliest work whilst still in uniform to his lengthy association with T.V. Boardman, for whom he produced hundreds of dust jackets for their Bloodhound crime series and their yearly best-selling Buffalo Bill Annual. The Boardman covers are almost unique in British publishing history as no major publisher relied on a single artist to produce so many of their jackets. Tracking down useable examples proved to be a long and gruelling process. As Peter says "Photographing the books would have been quicker, but the results are light years away from a true scan . it simply wasn't an option." San Francisco-based collector Mark Terry gave fresh impetus to the book with his network of contacts and the finished book now contains dozens of examples, carefully restored. The book also contains many examples of McLoughlin's comic strips, a biography by David Ashford, plus a bibliography, as well as behind-the-scenes photos and examples of his original artwork. The book features reproductions from the surviving original artwork, "pulls" in high quality print, never-before-seen photos chronicling the artist's life and page after page of some of the most stunning artwork ever to see print in the 20th century. Complete with a numbered limited edition print and a 12 page facsimile edition Roy Carson comic. A Book Palace Books publication. 272 pages. Size: 9" x 12" (220mm x 297mm). ISBN: 9781907081187. (2).
