Author: Burns, Jim

For more than 25 years, Jim Burns's imaginative book covers have delighted the giants of the science fiction genre—Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke among them.

In witty, informative commentary, filled with anecdotes and reminiscences, Burns himself explains the concepts and the process behind the creation of his spellbinding paintings.

Several authors weigh in too, recalling their pleased reactions at seeing art that gave shape to their words and brought their visions to life.
