Illustrators #42

A brooding green giant cradles a purple-hued figure beneath an eerie moonlit sky on this striking 2023 issue of Illustrators, with cover art by Richard Corben and Jim Rugg that immediately signals the pulpy, otherworldly flavor the magazine celebrates so well. The painterly rendering — all rich greens, purples, and swirling mists — showcases Corben's unmistakable command of dramatic form and color, making this a visually arresting entry in the series. Fans of fantastic illustration will find plenty to savor both on this cover and, no doubt, within the pages of issue No. 42.
