The influence of Howard Pyle, Willy Pogany, Arthur Rackham, and Alphonse Mucha is evident in the fairy tale and fantasy art of Charles Vess. After illustrating superheroes for mainstream comic publishers for several years, in 1990 Vess began collaborating with author Neil Gaiman on several projects, including the acclaimed comic book series The Sandman. Their partnership continued with the books Stardust (1998) and Blueberry Girl (2009). Vess recently contributed fifty-six illustrations to Ursula K. LeGuin’s The Books of Earthsea: The Complete Illustrated Edition (2018). Vess is the winner of three Eisner Awards, two Hugo Awards, and four World Fantasy Awards, among others.
