Exclusive: Get a look at the New Illustrated Edition of Lord Dunsany’s 1905 Fantasy Classic The Gods of Pegana
First published in 1905, Lord Dunsany’s The Gods of Pegana is one of the most important and influential works of modern fantasy literature. The groundbreaking, imaginative novel introduced readers to a pantheon of unforgettable gods and a rich new mythology that would inspire HP Lovecraft, J.R.R Tolkien, Ursula K Leguin, and generations of fantasy and science fiction creators. Now Denver’s Wig Shop, a prestige publisher and purveyor of independent comics and art books is collaborating with artist Dustin Holland on a hallucinatory visualization of Dunsany’s kaleidoscopic cosmic fancies featuring full-color paintings on every page. The 7X10, 139-page deluxe paperback is coming soon to Kickstarter.
Drawing inspiration from medieval illuminated manuscripts, the work of Leonora Carrington, Max Ernst, The Fleischer Brothers, and cartoonists like Gary Panter, Marc Bell and Julie Doucet – Holland vividly illustrates all 130+ pages of this classic tome with a contemporary outsider-art flair. Each chapter features a full-page painting, and every page features painted borders that are as decorative as they are illustrative.
