Dave McKean on illustrating the Folio edition of I Am Legend
Ойын-сауық
I Am Legend, Richard Matheson’s brutal tale of survival and vampires, arrives in a spectacular Folio edition - illustrated by artist Dave McKean and introduced by a modern master of horror, Joe Hill.
Award-winning illustrator and comics legend Dave McKean has created a number of searing colour images that capture the washed-out desperation of Matheson’s post-apocalyptic world, with splashes of vibrant red hinting at the violence happening just off page. The special die-cut slipcase offers frightening glimpses of the binding, and each new novel section features more of McKean’s stunning black and white artwork.
This is also available as an exclusive limited edition - only 295 copies, bound in leather and with a print signed by the artist.
The Folio Society produces beautifully crafted collector’s editions of the world’s greatest books, each with unique illustrations or specially researched photographs throughout. Find books you love at foliosociety.com

Dave's creative approach to painting, using evocative music to conjure up a mood or a mindset and to utilize it when returning to work in order to maintain continuity, is exactly what I do when writing. It's a bit silly, I suppose, but I find it rather comforting to know that one of my favourite creatives shares at least one trait with me.
It's so interesting to see how he works, Especially the music part
Dear Folio, this book of yours is an insta-buy. I just ordered it. The dog scene is one of the most beautiful written scene I remember in my reader experience, and Dave mcKean illustration of it nails the mood. I wish there was a printable version of it to make a poster.

Thanks so much for your kind words about this edition and Dave McKean's stunning illustrations!
Fantastic video, thanks so much for sharing the interview.
He should've said what music he was playing.

I said I was listening to Stefano Battaglia's album Pasolini, and John Zorn, but that was cut out.
