This seems like a good place to gush about one of my favorite pairs of illustrators, Leo and Diane Dillon, a husband and wife team that left an incredible mark on the children's and speculative fiction illustration world. So much so I would be surprised to find a fan of science fiction and fantasy in the US who was unfamiliar with at least some of their work, even if they didn't know the names of the artists involved. Personally, I grew up in a bookstore my parents owned and the esthetic appreciation I had of the Dillion's work lead me to some of the best books I've ever read.


NEAT!

I have like half those covers, but had never thought about the common style or the artist(s) of them. Thanks a great deal for pointing that out.
