Summary

From images in black and white to inventive gadgets, the golden age of SF film, and pictures from the flying saucer era, these paintings capture the range of Hugo Award-winner Vincent Di Fate's achievements. More than 100 color artworks complement a vigorous, vivacious text by the artist himself. Space chases, futuristic supermen, machines born of dreams or nightmares, and more: each illustration is a voyage of the imagination.
