The Art Of Mitch Byrd
(2001 - SQP (Sal Quartuccio Publications)) 
Not appropriate for children or adolescents. This book was entitled 'vol. 1', but no other volumes have followed from SQP. For this site, the book would have fallen higher in the recommendations if it wasn't for the ten pages of sequential art crammed in here. Also note that in displaying pieces that were particularly tall or long, the leftover negative space was filled with more images, which is 'o.k.' by our lights, but does give the book a bit of a crowded aspect. So, these 64 pages, along with the painted front & back covers, gives you 53 large reproductions and a couple more pages with gathered smaller images. As long as you don't mind nudity, there's a lot of good stuff here as Byrd's full-figured women flit through spaceships, jungles & ruins in underwater, fantasy, futuristic & barbarian lands. Byrd's art is not limited to adventure pin-up, as there are also plenty of straight illustration images throughout. A few images do cross the line into adult themes, so it shouldn't be left lying about the house if young ones are about.
