MICHAEL WM. KALUTA : THE COMPLETE SKETCHBOOKS
Michael Wm. Kaluta has been creating beautiful imagery since the 1960s. Highlights of his wonderfully varied and storied career include the definitive graphic narrative of The Shadow, the still-in-progress Starstruck, the Illustrated Metropolis, J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, and a myriad of stunningly executed covers and illustrations commissioned by every major publisher. Additionally, Kaluta was a charter member of the legendary art collective known simply as The Studio.
