Countless artists have painted Robert E. Howard''s characters through the years, but none have done so more brilliantly than legendary Spanish painter Manuel Perez Clemente Sanjulian. With the impact of a battle axe, Sword''s Edge collects an action-filled brace of paintings that brings Howard''s classic stories to vivid life for a new generation of enthusiasts. Best known in the United States for his cover paintings for the comic magazine Vampirella, Sanjulian has been rightly called ''an artist''s artist'' for his masterful compositions and vibrant use of color. Honored by the Society of Illustrators, he has created his numerous book jackets for a diverse range of publishers.
