Product Details:
In his five decades as an illustrator, painter and conceptual artist, Chris Achill�os has four best-selling books of his art. He worked with the likes of George Lucas, as well as producing the iconic promotional art for the cult film Heavy Metal. But it is probably his work for Doctor Who that is the most enduringly popular. His covers for the official Target novelizations, which began in the early 70s, defined a generation s image of the Doctor and his adventures particularly after the show disappeared from British screens in the late 80s. Lavishly detailed, with psychedelic overtones and an unapologetically pulpy sensibility, these covers perfectly captured the eccentric appeal of the classic series. To this day, Doctor Who luminaries tip their hat to the influence of Achill�os work. The opening of a 2016 exhibition of Target s cover artwork at the Cartoon Museum, London, attracted the series then showrunner Steven Moffat, as well as twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi. With the Doctor long back on our screens, and more popular than ever, it is perhaps surprising that Achill�os Whovian oeuvre (or Whoeuvre, if you will) has never been collected in one place. Kklak!: The Doctor Who Art of Chris Achill�os, an upcoming title from award-winning independent publisher Candy Jar Books, aims to address this. For the first time, it collects the entirety of Achill�os Doctor Who artwork in chronological order, along with commentary from Achill�os himself (as well as some fans) presenting the definitive guide to his seminal work. The book also includes a small contribution from twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi and a foreword from Achill�os long-time friend and collaborator, the late Terrance Dicks.
