During a term as Secretary-Treasurer of Science Fiction Writers of America, Roger Zelazny, winner of six Hugo awards and three Nebula awards, met Vaughn Bode. Admiring each other's work, they joined forces in the creation of Way Up High and Here There Be Dragons. Roger had written the stories in the late 1960s and found Vaughn's work ideally suited to his text.Vaughn Bode once said of himself, I am the crawly caterpillar, who is the cocoon, who is the butterfly, all at once. Right now ... Magick is with us all the time ... Winner of a Hugo award, illustrator of countless comics, book covers, and magazines, Vaughn Bode died tragically in 1975.Here at last are these two wonderful stories available as a two book numbered slipcased set each individually signed by Roger Zelazny. Way Up High is the moving story of a little girl's friendship with Herman, the last pterodactyl Here There Be Dragons is the lighthearted tale of a king who wants a dragon as a surprise at his daughter's birthday party and the one sensible knight in the kingdom who is charged with this task. Edition limited to 1,000 copies.… (plus d'informations)

Only 1000 of these were ever printed & that took over a decade - maybe two - to accomplish. Zelazny wrote the stories in the '60's & had always admired Bode's artwork, so they collaborated. But both wanted a full percentage of the book, so the project fell apart. Bode died & his estate finally settled with Zelazny so this limited edition could be printed.

The stories are great. They're supposed to be kid's stories, but they're fun for adults too. The artwork is wonderful. Vaughn Bode's artwork is supposed to have been influential on one of my all time favorite flicks, "Wizards" (1977), so I love it. I wish there was more of it, though. There are only a half dozen of his pieces in each - all great - but I expected more.

I'm happy that I finally got a chance to read these & add them to my collection. I think it's a real shame they never made it to the mass market, though. I had to pay far too much for them & too many people will never know what a wonderful opportunity they're missing. ( )
