Garden of Talking Flowers - plate 5 from Alice Through the Looking Glass Portfolio

Fantastic Marvel artist's love of Good Girl Art:
Legendary Dr Strange, Howard the Duck, Man-Thing, Elric and Red Sonja talent Frank Brunner has always been noted for drawing beautiful women. Brunner's depictions of Red Sonja, Dr Strange's Clea, and Howard the Duck' Beverly "Bev" Switzler are universally adored. Bev was created by Brunner and, as famously portrayed by Lea Thompson, is considered by many to be the best part of George Lucas' HTD film.

Along with contemporary artists Jeff Jones, Bernie Wrightson and Barry Windsor-Smith, Brunner was part of a new generation in comics and fantasy art that expanded into fine art prints, posters and portfolios. When it comes to Good Girl Art by a major Marvel talent, no art portfolios were more notable than Brunner's two featuring his sensuous take on Alice in Wonderland.
