Jim Burns: Planet Story
(1979 - Pierrot Publishing)

(by Harry Harrison) This book was co-billed as a collaboration between SF-writer Harry Harrison and Jim Burns (who, at the time, had not yet had a collection devoted to his art). Harrison's satirical story was then populated with Burns' full-page or double-page images and all wrapped up into an 11-by-11-inch book. There's just enough art to move the tome up onto our List, with 47 art pages out of the book's 109 (though it then ranks under the other Jim Burns collections). 24 pages are used to present a dozen of those double-page spreads, none of which flunk-out from the center distortion. The images are obviously story-centric and I've only seen nine or ten of them repeated 'well-presented' in Burns' collections, or the many other places where his work has appeared.
