Description

This piece falls into a category of a goal I never thought I�d reach. I�m a big Ray Harryhausen fan and I�d been looking for a cover quality illustration by Arthur Adams for some time now. So when I saw this piece come up for auction that depicted Jonni Future taking a ride on the Ymir from 20 Million Miles to Earth, it was a no brainer (provided my bid was successful) It was a bit of a scramble for funds and almost broke the bank. Luckily I was able to consign several pieces of art to reduce the balance on payment that made the purchase of this gem possible.

I don�t know exactly how this piece was used, but it predates the first published appearance of Jonni Future by a year. It�s an early illustration by Arthur Adams of the heroine who made her debut in the pages of Tom Strong�s Terrific Tales #1 in 2002 that was part of Alan Moore�s line of America�s Best Comics.

I have a soft spot for science fiction characters like Jonni Future who draw a lot of influence from the classic space opera genre. The biggest highlight of this piece though has to be Arthur�s update to the Ymir. I love his redesign of this retro movie monster to give it a more contemporary look. The amount of attention and detail he put into the skin texture of the creature is absolutely incredible. I also like how he still managed to keep all of the key characteristics of the original monster that makes it recognizable as one of Ray�s creations. It checks off all the right boxes for me and fills a hole nicely in my collection.
