This lavishly illustrated book covers the commercial art and film-making of Edmund Emshwiller, nickname Emsh,, a very successful cover artist, mostly in the genre of science fiction and fantasy, but also in crime and men's pulp magazines and book covers. He eventually gave up this work in favor of making art films. Most of the reproductions are in color, unless they are of line-drawings, which of course are in black-and-white. A few pieces are in black-and-white, but are described as having color; perhaps the original did not survive. If one is interested in this artist, in particular, or in cover art, particularly in these genre, the book is not to be missed.
Emshwiller's wife, Carol, a science fiction and fantasy writer is also discussed at some length in the book. She very definitely takes second place, but the author is sensitive to her predicament of trying to pursue her own career in the face of raising children and being very supportive of her husband. Carol Emshwiller also studied art, but does not appear to have continued with it as a married adult. She turned instead to writing, often science fiction, but she also wrote more literary works. Ortiz is editing a series of volumes of her short stories. ( )

I can't believe all the work Luis did for this book ... some of it with me. (Introduction by Carol Emshwiller)
Aficionados of a certain age will recall searching, in science fiction covers of the mid-Fifties, for the block-letter chop of "Emsh" tucked among the details of cityscapes, robocars, derelict spaceships, and post-atomic wreckage, or worked into the filigree utility belts, gizmo arm-bands, gun handles, gear wheels, collars and boot tops, and in other paraphernalia of vintage science fiction. (Foreword by Alex Eisenstein)
In the winter of 1950-1951 Edmund Alexander Emshwiller was twenty-six, and married for just over a year, when he appeared at the Manhattan offices of Galaxy Science Fiction with a portfolio of paintings.

My dad was one who thought to argue was to love. Dad always won. Carol lost these debates to the Socratic arguments he used. As a grown-up Carol once heard someone call Socrates a bully and she shouted, Yes!. (Chap. 1, p. 22)

"Although there is virtually none of my day-to-day personal life in them, they do show the evolution of my preoccupations as a filmmaker and some of the general changes that have come about in society over the years."
