PARALLEL LINES: THE SCIENCE FICTION ILLUSTRATIONS OF PETER ELSON & CHRIS MOORE

This is a 'second pass', after doing some housekeeping I was perplexed as to why in my original post of this book three years ago I only scanned three or four images out of approx. 77. Paralell Lines was published in 1981 by Dragon's Dream and contains a foreword by Roger Dean; most of the included paintings feature space hardware, though there are a few exceptions.

LONE SLOANE : DELIRIUS

"Philippe Druillet is one of Europe's most prominent and popular artists in the field of illustrated fantasy and science fiction. The adventures of Lone Sloane through time and space and on the incredible world of Delirius are here presented for the first time in English. Forthcoming books by druillet in the series include "Yragael" and "Urm". 

He is at present working on further adventures of Lone Sloane. Druillet (pronounced dru-yay) has won numerous awards in Europe and America for his books. 

He says that his ultimate ambition is 'to create a whole universe of science fiction. It would be terrible to think of not doing it. I have worlds to create, characters to develop. It's what i have in me, and i want to experiment. I believe that i will always draw comics; they are among the most beautiful things that can be imagined - and they are true.'"
