Subterranean Press is known for publishing gorgeous editions of popular novels, novellas and short fiction. They’re really outdoing themselves, though, with this new edition of George R.R. Martin’s mega-successful A Dance with Dragons, the fifth volume of his A Song of Ice and Fire series. Best of all, though, is the beautiful artwork created exclusively for Subterranean Press and included in this collectors edition.
Thankfully, for those of us who are unable to afford these edition, many of the sketches/illustrations can be viewed on artist Marc Fishman’s Facebook page (no Facebook account is required). I’m not a huge fan of his coloured works, but the black and white sketches are absolutely tremendous.
The two-volume limited edition of A Dance with Dragons, which will contain 70 sketches/illustrations, can be purchased through Subterranean Press.
I heard rumors that Justin Sweet would be participating in this? He is by far my favorite artist, but he hasn’t done too much these last few years… Great post though thanks a lot!
I like the quiet feel of some of these. Not so common in epic fantasy illustration these days.
