Born of Man and Woman / by Clive Hicks-Jenkins

Clive Hicks-Jenkins has made seventeen illustrations and wraparound cover artwork for the forthcoming republication by Suntup Editions of Richard Matheson’s anthology of science-fiction and horror, Born of Man and Woman, first published in 1954.

Matheson's career spanned decades of writing weird fiction and producing screenplays, and he's probably best known as the author of the novel I am Legend, adapted for the screen three times, most recently with Will Smith starring. He wrote 16 episodes of The Twilight Zone and produced screenplays of several Edgar Allan Poe stories for Roger Corman and American International Pictures: House of Usher, The Pit and the Pendulum, Tales of Terror and The Raven. He adapted his 1971 short story Duel as a screenplay for Steven Spielberg. This new edition is currently on pre-order at the publisher’s website.
