It's time for #BeyondTheCover, where we show you the amazing art behind our gorgeous book covers!
Today we are showcasing the art created by Alan Pollack for The Monster Hunter Files, Vol. 2 edited by Larry Correia and Jason Cordova.
Hugo Nominee Alan Pollack was born in New Jersey in the 1960s. Influenced at an early age by artists such as Frank Frazetta and Boris Vallejo, Alan knew that fantasy/sci-fi illustration would be his career of choice. In 1991, he did his first cover illustration for T.S.R.’s Dungeon magazine and was offered a staff position. He spent the next few year surrounded by great artists while honing his skills. Since then, Alan has created art for gaming companies and publishing houses, including Baen Books. Alan has also had the honor of being chosen as the cover artist for Spectrum, an illustration annual which focuses on the year's best science fiction and fantasy art.
