Lou feck biography
Lou Feck ( - ) was active/lived in United States....
WHEN Lou Feck was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on July 8, , his parents had no way of knowing that he would grow up to be such a gifted.
BOB LARKIN'S illustrations for the Conan series are some of the best non-Frazetta Conan paperback covers ever produced. They astonished me when I first saw them in Waldenbooks back in 1979 and 1980, and I'm no less taken today (Larkin's cover art for the The Savage Sword of Conan magazine published during the 1970's and 80's are pretty jaw-dropping too!).
Larkin was fairly new to the paperback scene in the 1970's, but he was already demonstrating a remarkably mature talent (he started illustrating commercially in 1969). Prior to painting the Conan covers, Larkin had completed three excellent illustrations for JanetMorris's science-fantasy series Silistra, on volumes 2, 3 and 4, respectively.
However, the cover art on volume 1 was painted by Boris Vallejo, so apparently in an effort to unify all of the covers under one sustained look Leone was having Lou Feck, his veteran all purpose artist, redo all four books with new illustrations for their subsequent second print
