A Faerie Christmas With Charles Vess

This week's Feature Article is on The Fantasy Art of Charles Vess. In addition to being a sought-after fantasy artist, Vess is a noted comics illustrator (in the fantasy genre, for the most part – though he did a little Spider-Man back in the '80s). He's won World Fantasy Awards for his Neil Gaiman collaborations (Sandman and Stardust), and his latest Eisner Award was for Jeff Smith's Rose.

Charles Vess fans should check out Drawing Down the Moon: The Art of Charles Vess, the upcoming retrospective from Dark Horse Comics. Dark Horse is releasing Drawing Down the Moon on December 23, 2009 – yes, just in time for Christmas. But you can preview the book before its release at the Dark Horse Comics website, just to make sure it's perfect for the fantasy art fans on your Christmas list before it's too late to find a different gift.
