Art of Claudio Aboy Vol 2 Perfect Paperback – December 5, 2007

Just as expected.

I don't get those that insist on laying blame on Amazon, artists, publishers, etc. when they don't bother to research or read reviews of the items they're considering to purchase. Almost EVERY SQP publication is in B+W; after all, most of these artists are illustrators or line artists who specialize in pencil, pen and charcoal as medium of choice. No one is duping, misleading or deceiving anybody here - do your homework. Blame yourself.That said, this is another excellent example of Claudio Aboy's artwork, sketches and illustrations centered on the universe of the beautiful, bountiful babes we primeval males want, make that need, to see in various undressings, to center ourselves in said universe. This time out he's devoted quite a few portraits of Vampirella, female warriors, space sirens, cowgirls and pin-ups of some luscious ladies well worth your time + attention, unless you're imagination-challenged and need color to make your life livable. (I hold the same principle when it comes to horror films - B+W adds more to nightmarish imagery 'cause it makes you see things in the darkness that may or may not be there. When color arrived, we had to throw buckets of blood at the screen to simulate horror, which gets old quick. Now we're numb). But what do I know?As much nudity as there is here, and it's considerable, there's not as much as in the first volume, let alone his superb 'Voluptuous' book (my fave), which centered around Red Sonja and Conan portraits. His other book I'm not familiar with, but the three I own are excellent additions to my library of the fantastic. I recommend it highly, for what it is, and won't knock it for what it isn't. Why do you think they call it 'Fantasy Art'?

Aboy is another of the modern masters. Highly recommended.

The front cover is misleading in full color.Even though the very thin book has good drawings,only the front and back cover pictures are in color.I have to wonder if all these drawings were originally in colorand were only copied as black and white for this book.They look muted for even for black and white.The paper is glossy also.So unless you are a big fan of this artist and don't carethat the pics are black and white then I guess you will like this book.

very happy with the book
