Cover Art for the Novel “The Invincible” by Polish Author Stanislaw Lem, art by Peter Tybus.
A kind of Fauvist Airbrushing which really works for me, in a similar vein to Salinas Blanch and David Pelham (yet to be mentioned here) still not that surprising as they all Illustrated for Penguin Books. Unfortunately I can’t find out much information on Peter Tybus other than that he appears to have been a fairly prolific Illustrator throughout the 1970′s. His slick style, to me hasn’t really dated – or maybe it’s just thats it’s a bit left of field, whatever the reason I’m a fan. If anyone has anymore Info on Peter, please let me know.
The novel itself is a Sci-fi Thriller; A military spacecraft lands on an unexplored planet to determine the whereabouts of a lost crew – sound familiar? well remember this novel was originally written in the 60′s so predates a certain Jim Cameron film by 20 years or so! anyway it’s available on Amazon
