It was that same generosity of spirit which led him to join forces with Flesk Publications in 2009 and establish the Al Williamson Archives library—all with the hope that, through these volumes, his fans, fellow illustrators and the general public could finally enjoy his wealth of unpublished work for themselves. This second installment of the series builds upon the strengths of the first, showcasing a rich and heady collection of carefully chosen SF and fantasy-fueled illustrations. Spanning the entirety of Williamson’s 50-year career, this volume includes everything from rough sketches, abandoned comic pages and partially completed drawings to fully rendered studies of characters familiar to fans. Regardless of its specific subject matter, each piece exemplifies the exhilarating bravura, sheer vitality and sense of wonder so important to Williamson’s work. Designed to simulate the experience of sifting through his private files, every image by this beloved “artist’s artist” was scanned from the original in full color before being reproduced to the most exacting of standards to best capture the subtlest aspects of his craft. Review: insight into an artist's style - This book is filled with half finished sketches and roughs. In it you can study Williamson's skill at the human figure in action. The tilt of a hip, coiled legs about to spring, the action elements of comic art are easy to study in this nice selection from the sketch pad of a Comic Book Great. I also bought his X-9: Secret Agent Corrigan comic strip collection (vol 1) to compare the finished art with these sketches and see how the bare bones work in a story. Review: Another archive delight - I should be angry that one man was gifted with so much talent, but I am instead grateful that the great Al Williamson, who I met several times, choose to share that talent with the world. He was also a truly generous and nice person. He always called himself "a fan first, and a comics pro second" and these lovely sketches and fully realized drawings of lizards, warriors, spacemen, and beautiful women fully demonstrates that. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,658,743 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #606 in Art of Comics & Manga #2,618 in Individual Artists' Books #7,557 in Collections, Catalogs & Exhibitions | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 14 Reviews | ## Images ![Al Williamson Archives Volume 2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OfEpTQ6BL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ insight into an artist's style *by C***E on November 26, 2011* This book is filled with half finished sketches and roughs. In it you can study Williamson's skill at the human figure in action. The tilt of a hip, coiled legs about to spring, the action elements of comic art are easy to study in this nice selection from the sketch pad of a Comic Book Great. I also bought his X-9: Secret Agent Corrigan comic strip collection (vol 1) to compare the finished art with these sketches and see how the bare bones work in a story. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another archive delight *by J***A on January 3, 2013* I should be angry that one man was gifted with so much talent, but I am instead grateful that the great Al Williamson, who I met several times, choose to share that talent with the world. He was also a truly generous and nice person. He always called himself "a fan first, and a comics pro second" and these lovely sketches and fully realized drawings of lizards, warriors, spacemen, and beautiful women fully demonstrates that. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Al Williamson Archives Vol 2 *by P***O on February 13, 2015* Like my review for Volume 1, this book is not for everyone. It features mostly incomplete, rough sketches by Al. If you are a Williamson fan, then buy this book. If you are looking for polished works you will be dissapointed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/12485306-al-williamson-archives-volume-2](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/12485306-al-williamson-archives-volume-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
