Not Sold Description
Alex Schomburg - "Judgment on Janus" Unpublished Alternative Cover Preliminary Illustration Original Art (Ace, circa 1963). In this science-fiction thriller, written by Andre Norton, a slave laborer is transformed into a racial savior. Alex Schomburg's detailed preliminary study for an alternate cover design for an Ace paperback, catches both the torment and the allegorical symbolism of Norton's story. While a different, less shocking cover was ultimately used, this piece is absolutely riveting - perhaps it was deemed too much so for the mass audience of the turbulent sixties. The image area of this fabulous mixed-media painting measures approximately 4" x 6.5", and the piece has been professionally matted and framed. Don't miss this opportunity to win a striking image by a Golden Age legend.More information about Alex Schomburg. See also: Schomburg, Alex, Xela Artist.
