Brief presentation of the work
Original works of art of rare distinction, all born from a truly special collaboration between an author and a painter who faithfully brings to life his fantastic universe through images. When Josh Kirby was commissioned to create the cover for Terry Pratchett's first novel, Discworld, he did not imagine that this would lead to something much larger than a single assignment. However, since then, their collaboration has extended beyond the series, including two earlier science fiction books and several children's books, as well as Eric, a fully illustrated story. Here, with rich and dazzling colors and vividly energetic drawings, appear the wizards, witches, bizarre creatures, and (of course!) the voluptuous maidens who populate this unusual world: a disc of sea and land balanced on the backs of four elephants, themselves riding on the back of a cosmic turtle swimming in space. Additionally: a selection of paintings taken from their other collaborations.
