Post your favorite novel illustrations.
>>7733638bernie wrightson's frankenstein is the pinnacle of illustrated novels.
>>7733655Wrightson is so good that the drawings he *cut* from this book are better than anything out there aside from the stuff he kept in.
My personal favorite is Tove Jansson's work in Lord of the rings books. It's not the technically best, but I love it.
>>7733638Theres not many that stand out to me. Dore bible etc engravings i guess might count. Wrightson frankenstein plates. The hibbot i guess had some sketches and maps. Alice in wonderland but not amazing art from original. Moby dick has some but i dont think they were from original release. Feels like very rare for a novel outside random weeb light novels to have focus on illustrations or any included.
>>7733638Not so much a 'novel', but Jean Paul Colbus did a series of illustrations for a book on Chess, and I believe he didn't illustrate anything else? Shame, because what he did was great.
