'He was not happy. He was not happy. He said the words to himself. He recognized this as the true state of affairs. He wore his happiness like a mask.”

Ray Bradbury / Something Wicked This Way Comes
Bantam, 1983 movie tie-in edition

In 1953, Ray Bradbury rented a typewriter in the basement of UCLA’s Powell Library for 20 cents an hour. Nine days and $9.80 later, he completed his novel 'Fahrenheit 451.' web.archive.org/web/2018103112…

'Whether taking the form of a fire-breathing dragon or a rampaging T.Rex, the fossils of the past have always shaped humankind's nightmares. However, famed author Ray Bradbury took it to new heights when he wrote 'A Sound of Thunder.'bit.ly/3yH8YME#RayBra… #Jurassic

Finding that copy of “Ray Bradbury Comics” #3 nearly completes my collection of this early 1990s Topps Comics series.

There were 5 regular issues, and three special issues. Only “Tales of Terror” is missing.

This series did an excellent job of adapting the stories, faithfully.

Cliff Carle Something Wicked This Way Comes is my favorite Halloween day watch. It's based on a Ray Bradbury novel about a mysterious carnival that blows into a sleepy town and disrupts the residents' lives, especially two young boys. Jason Robards kills it as an old dad. Pam Grier too.

“The television is 'real'. It is immediate, it has dimension. It tells you what to think and blasts it in. It must be right. It seems so right. It rushes you on so quickly to its own conclusions your mind hasn't time to protest, 'What nonsense!'.”

― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

“Do not . . . turn away from what you are—the material within you which makes you individual, and therefore indispensable to others.”
-Ray Bradbury

DESCENT (1989)
Acrylic on Canvas - 28' x48'

When I was asked to do a new cover for Ray Bradbury's classic THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES, I reread it and found I was deeply moved by the sense of inevitable tragedy that permeates the first half of the book.

FAHRENHEIT 451 (2020)
Acrylic on Gessobord - 24' x 36'

Often the path to a successful cover isn't a straight line. That was certainly the case illustrating Ray Bradbury's iconic novel FARHENHEIT 451.

'The only good writing is intuitive writing. It would be a big bore if you knew where it was going. It has to be exciting, instantaneous and it has to be a surprise.'
-Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing
