A Peter Tybus Cover Illustration for “The War Book” a collection of short stories published in 1971 by Panther Science Fiction. The tag line is:”War is hell… …whatever century it’s fought in”

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
