### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A wonderful tribute to Warhammer's most important artist!
  

*by E***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2023*

Blanche: The Rise of Grimdark was a really enjoyable and informative read about one of finest fantasy and science fiction artists of this generation. It was great to gain additional insight into John Blanche's expansive career, from how he started drawing on spare wallpaper in his youth, since he didn’t have access to paper, to eventually go on to shape fantasy and science fiction as a whole and define Games Workshop’s iconic universes. It contains passages from different artists and friends, which were all a delight to read, as they provided further context to his life and provided personal anecdotes that help show the person behind the genre-defining artwork.The book is well printed and has some great examples of Blanche's artwork, but buyers should be aware that it is focused on being a biography rather than an artbook, with its size not being ideal showcasing many of the pieces. It is soft-back with a nice soft-touch cover that does not collect fingerprints. The binding is good and the book opens easily without creasing the spine.Ultimately, I would highly recommend the book to anyone wanting to learn a little more about John Blanche and his connection to many of the founding and important members of Games Workshop!

    A great tribute to a world class artist and visionary.
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2023*

This wonderfully non-pretentious book is really well put together. Congratulations to its creators and contributors. It’s stuffed to the brim with gorgeous art, much of which many of us (people who have enjoyed John’s art) have never seen. As far as the written content goes, I found it riveting, particularly the details of John’s family history, his formative years and his early steps into science fiction and fantasy art. The tributes from his colleagues and friends are really touching and give you a great sense of the man behind all the glorious art. They contain wonderful anecdotes and tales of John’s adventures.  The gold star, in terms of tributes, definitely goes to John’s wife, Lin. I’m not ashamed to admit I got a bit misty eyed reading her beautiful tribute to her soul mate. I highly recommend this book.

    Amazing biography so far…of a legend…told from the perspective of other legends.
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2023*

Like so many others, I grew up loving John Blanche’s artwork, never considering the person that imagined and produced it.  This book does a considerable job of telling his story from the perspective of his considerably talented peers; all of whose work, I have likewise grown up loving.My copy was delivered right before leaving for a trip and it has made the time spent waiting in the airport and on the plane fly by.  I wish the print was half the size so I could carry it more easily in my pocket, and about four times larger so I could see all the details on all the art plates.
