GALLERY OF FRANK R. PAUL's SCIENCE FICTION ARTWORK
artwork (c) Frank R. Paul estate
Cover art by Frank R. Paul for Fall 1931 Wonder Stories Quarterly, illustrating "The Asteroid of Death" by Neil R(onald) Jones (1909-1988).
Interior art from the
same issue.
"The volume of [Paul's] work during the first two decades of magazine science fiction was enormous. Paul not only did the covers for the various Gernsback magazines; he also drew the interior illustrations in most cases. For several years, these interiors included portraits of the writers, which, even though frequently redrawn from photographs, indicated how well he could depict faces when it was important. He was also a frequent contributor to other magazines in the field. Hence, much of his work must have been done under extreme pressure to finish on time; but very little seems hurried, and most of it reveals meticulous effort to include even the smallest details." Lester Del Rey, Fantastic Science-Fiction Art, 1975, Ballantine.
